Which form at the Land Registry needs to be filled in to prevent a property being sol

1jacks64

I am a beneficiary of an estate and I have inherited half a house. The executor is being unreasonable and is trying to sell the house very quickly and I have only just found out. I want to buy the house and I have been told that an entry can be made on the land register to stop it being sold. Does anyone know which form needs to be filled in to do this.

I would have thought it is similar to married couples where the house is only in the husbands name but the wife is able to put an entry on the register stating that she has an interest in the property to stop the house being sold behind her back.

So any ideas on how to do this myself and what form on the website I can download to do it myself would be very useful?

Just as it happens I have received the stuff on my house as I have cleared the mortgage last month. The Building society puts a charge on it, from what I can see there is a 'charge register' on a document called a charge certificate. I presume that a paper copy would be used rather than online don't know whether solicitor is required, I paid £50 to Chelsea to organise charge removal and other stuff, but they said I could get my own to do it. The charge certificate is attached against the title number of the property.

A charge is a loan against the property and is not applicable in this case.

A caution or restriction needs to be registered. Will have a look at the forms and come back.



Edit: RX1 looks like the form you need.

Form RX1 plus a fee of £40 would appear to be the right form. However, you will have to establish sufficient interest in the property to allow a Restriction to be registered.

I am concerend that the executor appears not be taking your wishes on board. However he may feel that the property market is falling and that he is acting in the best interest of the estate by going for a quick sale. He has to take into consideration the other beneficiaries. Under the circumstances you may be better off taking your own advice.
