PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Restrictions on the title

2»

Comments

  • These are standard charges, the first is a mortgage and the others are finance or debt enforcement. The seller cannot give good title unless these are discharged, and his solicitor will be dealing with that. They will already have checked if there’s going to be enough equity to clear the debts. 

    You don’t need to worry about it- you have said that you don’t understand the legal wording and that is what you are paying your solicitor for. Trust them to deal with it. The finance companies will not discuss it with you, because it has nothing to do with you.
    Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.

    Don't assume that presence of a restriction means it is still 'live'. 

    Some of the debts may have been satisfied, but the paperwork has never been submitted to LR to have the restrictions removed.

    Your solicitor will deal with the companies to arrange for them to be removed.

    For anyone looking into restrictions later, HMRC have just introduced a new form RXC for consents and certificates pursuant to registered restrictions: https://hmlandregistry.blog.gov.uk/2021/07/26/in-form-ed-consent/
