• Co Freeholder Not Signing The Tr1 And ID1 Form

    By Guest on 28th Oct 2020

    Good morning I am in the process of selling my flat that is a share of freehold. My neighbour upstairs that is the co freeholder is delaying the process by not signing the TR1 and ID1 form. He said he wants to get legal advise on that but I needed to pay for it which I agreed to. He went to try andforce me to create a limited company for my share of freehold saying it would make this easier and no forms will be needed in the future for him if he needs to sign but the solicitors confirmed the same forms will be needed regardless! Then he said my solicitors should represent us both for the sale but we told it needed to be an independent advise to avoid conflict of interest but now he’s telling me that I need to change my solicitors to someone that can represent us both at my cost and after ringing different solicitors they all said independent advise means getting a different solicitor. The survey is booked for my flat next week I’m worried it would fall through because of him no signing those standard documents. What are my options please . I am very distressed as I am a single mother and this flat is my life investment with no family here I need to move as my 11 yo son started school elsewhere that is far for him to commute .

    It seems there's a terrible situation occurring here. Have you had any advice? Have you solved it? A friend of mine has been held up from selling her flat because her co-freeholder won't sign the TR1 form. He's doing it for revenge. There seems to be no simple answer to this issue. Basically he could hold up the sale of her property indefinitely. The law needs to be changed. I'm interested talking to anyone that has had similar issues. I think my friends case may be unprecedented. 5 Years is way too long.

    My daughter is in the same position. One of the co-freeholders refuses to sign because she has a dispute with them over the setting up of a new maintenance company for the block. There seems nothing they can do. They have a baby on the way and it is affecting her mental health. In fact she has threatened to commit suicide if the sale and subsequent purchase of a house fall through. It is a horrible situation.
