Restriction on land registry

Neecee

Hi,
We are in the process of selling our house and the land registry has a restriction recorded on there going back to 2014 and we have no idea what it is, the company number on companies house is showing as a company that no longer exists but is now a new company that deals with boilers only we have never had a boiler installed. There is no way to contact this company I've been going round in circles! how do we find out what this restriction is about and how to remove it?

Were you the owners in 2014?

If it's the same company number then it's the same company (possibly with a change of name), the numbers aren't reused. What's the company? If it's a live company then it has a registered office, so you contact them there if there's no alternative.

Ecovision Financial Services Limited (Co. Regn. No. 08139655) of Barley Court, Doughton, Tetbury,Gloucestershire GL8 8TQ.

There's no number or email address and we've never had any dealings with them it's very frustrating!

Yes we were the owners we have lived here since 1994!

The company is still shown on Companies House as an active company, now called EFS Portfolio Ltd, showing Ecovision Financial Services Limited as its previous name.  Companies House gives the address of its present registered office.

Ecovision Financial provided HP  and were registered with FCA until 2019.

Yep got that far as well but we never had any HP. We only ever had government funded free external insulation in that year, it's so frustrating

Use our contact form to ask what information we have with regards how, when and why the restriction was applied for - Public guidance: dealing with land and property - GOV.UK 
The information we have may not include anything more than what you already have but unless checked you can't be sure
As for removing the restriction then that's a form RX3 plus supporting evidence to show that it can be cancelled - Cancel a restriction: registration (RX3) - GOV.UK 
The supporting evidence is going to be the issue of course and your legal rep should be able to help in that regard. From your post it appears you have no knowledge of the interest the restriction is protecting so waiting for the contact form response is probably best to see what that reveals. You/your legal rep can then consider any challenge as appropriate

As above apply for a copy of the restriction. 

 Even though the property received free insulation it may have been a requirement for a charge to be registered, no doubt hidden in the small print of the agreement.
