• Changing Ownership Of A Properyty With The Land Registry

    By Guest on 03rd Sep 2019

    When I bought a house from my father 15 years ago I took his mortgage and also took out another with the same company to pay my father the difference in market value.

    I have then remortgaged and am the sole mortgagee on one single mortgage against the flat. However, according to the land registry the flat is owned still by my father. The solicitors we used didn't fill out every form and have now gone out of business. How can I rectify this problem?

    Thanks

    Hire another firm to complete the job or if you wish to do it yourself submit the signed TR1 (which hopefully you have) to HM Land Registry with Form AP1 and Form ID1 signed off by one of the professions mentioned therein. I'd advise a covering letter to HM Land Registry explaining the reason for the delay.

    If doing it yourself, make sure you also serve notice of transfer on the landlord/management company if it was not done back then - though I assume that was done if they have been happily billing you service charges and ground rent. Note that if it wasn't done back then it would have been a breach of lease most likely so you may want to take professional advice before serving any notices.
