    Thanks for your response!
    Yes, currently own jointly, so TR1 will need completing. He says he's not had anything for signing yet, so not sure how long that will be.
    But good to know once the forms are submitted it's fairly quick. I was fearing weeks or even months to process the forms!

    If you've got a conveyancer involved and you both do the required paperwork swiftly then it shouldn't take too long to sort
    However the more things to do and more handling stages will obviously have some impact

    I applied to buy my freehold and am told that the completed TR1 was sent to Land Registry on 28/3/19. Should I have received the relevant paperwork back by now?

    If you are not a conveyancer and you did it yourself then I'd say No as we have to carry out certain checks before completing the registration. These are time-sensible so can take at least 4 weeks to complete
    If you share the title number we can take a look?

    I purchased from current owner and they provided a solicitor to deal with it. I returned the TR1, title number GM550186, to them and they advised me the paperwork had been sent to Land Registry on 28/3/19.
  • I have been running round the houses, trying to find answers about the value of a charge against my property. I have downloaded the Land Registry deeds and this give me information about the charge, however it shows no amount. I have contacted the relevant court and they only keep details for six years? How else can I find out about the value of the charge against my property... Any advice most welcome.

    Paul.

    Many thanks - the application was received on 28th March and is waiting to be considered. You won't get any paperwork from the conveyancer for several weeks as we have a backlog of this type of work and I would not expect it to be considered until mid/late July at the earliest on that basis

    We would only have the value at the time the court order was issued providing that level of detail was shared with us.

    The creditor would be the point of contact to establish what the value may be now for example

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hello,

    Hopefully this is the right place for this type of question.

    Our house is in an estate of 80 houses built ~10 years ago; we purchased the property a year ago.

    We would like to extend our back garden fence over land we own at the side of house. There is no adjoining property on that side of the house, it is just a grass area that adjoins the pavement and road into the estate.

    In a quick read through and my understanding of the title deeds, it states that we need to seek our neighbours agreement to undertake such work.

    My question is, what constitutes a "Neighbour"?

    Is it the properties that we share a boundary with? (We have one at the back and another at the other side of house). Or does it extend further; for example the property across the road or even the whole estate?

    Please note that everyone entering our estate has to pass the grassy area in which the extended fence would be built.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
  • Would you be able to advise me specifically what an 'equitable charge' on an interim charging order is please?
