Land registry problem

Santel

We are selling our house, the searches found there are two old Cautions on the deeds in favour of Barclays Bank from 1985.  We can’t remember what they are for, we repaid our mortgage in 2012 and we’re given the Deeds so how can there be money owed?  We and our solicitor have asked Barclays to look into this and they have found nothing, we have been pushed to so many different departments getting nowhere!  We have found a very helpful young lady in Complaints but although she can find no trace of any cautions under our name and assumes there is nothing to be found, orobably written off, she is now having a problem finding the right person who can give written permission to cancel them.  Can anyone tell us who in Barclays bank deals with Cautions or charges to be removed from title deeds on land registry?  We are desperate now as we will loose our sale if we don’t get answers urgently, we need help!

A representative from the Land Registry regularly posts on these forums. Maybe you could put your question to them: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5685941/land-registry-questions#latest

(however I think it is more a 'barclays problem' that a 'land registry problem' - obviously the LR have no issue removing it with authorisation).
