Fr1 form completion

runningrooster

Hi I currently have power of attorney for wealth for my elderly parents who are in care homes. I need to apply for a deferred payment arrangement on their house and during the process it’s become apparent the property has never been registered. The end result is an fr1 firm and dl forms need completing solicitors hackberry advised a cost of £1500. I am wondering if this is reasonable and is there an alternative solution to getting the form completed. Thanks for any advice in this really stressful time

A solicitor is not essential to do a first registration - I had all the conveyancing documents for *this place from the time it was built. As a result, had a clear line of ownership from day one. Filled in the forms myself and submitted to LR.

Only if there is any questions about the ownership would I recommend paying a solicitor to do something that you could do yourself.

As freebear says, the key question us what paperwork you have. If you have deeds and conveyancing documents going back.... well, depends how old the property is and how many changes of ownership, but themore complete a history you can prove the easier it is to simply submit the documents for LR to register without further question.
