in Loans
I am looking to sell my house, on the land registry details there are two restrictions. One in my name and one in my wife's. Am I correct in assuming that restrictions cannot stop me selling even if there is not sufficient equity to cover the outstanding loans?
There is also a registered charge in respect of the Mortgage, which is obviously binding and must be paid.
Am I correct in respect of the Restrictions or just overly optimistic.
Thanks in advance.

I think they might be able to block the sale but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe the National Debtline would know.0

What's the wording of the two restrictions (names removed) and why were they registered?“Official Company Representative
I am the official company representative of Land Registry. MSE has given permission for me to post in response to queries about the company, so that I can help solve issues. You can see my name on the companies with permission to post list. I am not allowed to tout for business at all. If you believe I am please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com This does NOT imply any form of approval of my company or its products by MSE"0 -

You need to give us a lot more information - my guessimate is that you are/have seperated and solicitors for both of you are trying to safeguard your financial positions?
There must be a good reason why they were first placed and unless withdrawn could well prevent a sale going through.
Your solicitor is the best person to advise you.0 -

So basically you took loans from HFC bank and Northern Rock who will need to be paid back from the sale of the property.
If there is not enough equity in the property you need to get in touch with the lenders NOW to see if they will transfer the debt to an unsecured basis.
Again more information is required here - how much do you owe in total including the main mortgage? What is the house worth? How much are you selling at?0 -

Yes it is true. Eggbox and the LR rep have put in an immense of work on that thread.
The difficulty is that most solicitors just don't understand it or have their own agenda. I believe eggbox has the name of a solicitor who understands it . perhaps a request to eggbox via pm might give the details.
Or contact legal firms yourself to find a conveyanced who is up to date."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

OP can you please explain the reason why you think a court would not uphold the charge registered?
Are you disputing the amounts owed or are they in one name and you think it should not apply?0
