Very nice sized property - i've been through the area a few times, it's about a 15-20 min drive from me.
Lots of scope to suit your own tastes etc.
Very nice! Especially like the out building

It's utterly ridiculous tbh. 3 weeks since having an offer accepted and still waiting for draft contracts from the seller.
You've got no choice really but to keep looking, and be ready to ditch your seller for something else if it comes up with no/less chain in the way.
Hugely frustrating experience, let along the 700 quid or so I have to drop on a survey without any commitment to the sale. It's utterly ridiculous that the seller isn't responsible for getting an independent survey.
Still delayed as an existing Land Charge (c1) relating to a paid off second mortgage in 2000 is registered. Apparently because it's no longer mortgaged it's proving impossible to get the ex lender to remove. Shame we can't bill those tossers for wasting everyone's time.
Yeah unfortunately old charges can be a right pain to sort out.Does anyone have any experience of this? Apparantly the challenge is the ex lender are not taking any accountability and keep asking for evidence of this charge and that it's been paid off, which has been supplied by sellers solicitor. Not entirely sure why it's dragging on - our solicitor said it's to do with the property being unregistered... ?!
If the lender who apparently have this charged logged agree to removing it... does anyone have any experience on how long this takes?
Obviously asked my solicitor but they weren't helpful, just said it's out of their hands and it could be weeks or months.
Good luck to the poster above!

Have 2 at the moment that are proving impossible (I'm on the seller side so buyers are furious at me obviously but nothing I can do). One is in favour of HMRC from the mid 90s. Court that made the judgment is closed. Solicitors that applied for the charge in favour of HMRC are closed. HMRC cant find any records of it. So all we know is HMRC are owed money but until we find out who to pay it to and who will remove the charge we're ******.
Next one is a normal lender but similar issue.
As to your one, being unregistered shouldn't really matter as its still a case of sending a discharge document to the land registry which wouldn't take long. But if the lender isn't playing ball for some reason it could be tough.
Where abouts are you that you're buying an unregistered property?
I received some ridiculous deeds from the 1920 that were unreadable.

Quite a lot around me, interesting but annoying to deal with.
Best of luck!
Excellent news! Although if its the lender thats the problem it may not help, don't get your hopes up too much. Conveyancers may seem useless (admittedly a lot are) but they aren't always to blame for delays just the easiest to blame!Cheers
As it transpires, may have just had some luck. Apparently the woman buying our house (FTB) works at the same solicitors our seller is using, who are having to deal with this charge! Only came up in a chance conversation this evening (she did not know who our sellers solicitors were). Turns out the convayencer works in the same building she does. She's going to go and stand by her desk tomorrow morning and try and push this!
Midlands area, Newcastle Under Lyme!

Interesting, not many unregistered properties in England these days. Still pretty common in Wales though.
Cool that's some decent length of ownership!It's an old house from 1920, it last changed hands in 1975 and I don't think registration was forced until the early 2000s?
Well completion day is over. In and unpacking tomorrow. It’s been a crazy day. Completed by 11:30 and got the keys just after lunch. Taken 6 hours. 3 Luton Van trips and 7 trips in 7 seat SUVs go get everything moved.
doing it ourselves was certainly cheaper but I now understand why people pay others. I ache and have days left to go!
At least it’s over. Pics to follow tomorrow.

That's us tomorrow
Lucky I don't have that much stuff But I have a van trip to Suffolk from Cardiff and back at stored stuff at my parents.
Doing it myself this time as we have 3 weeks to move with rent overlap but never again!
Good luck with it. We moved all of 1.5miles and it was hard work.
Assume you didn't have buyers who were moving in same day??Well completion day is over. In and unpacking tomorrow. It’s been a crazy day. Completed by 11:30 and got the keys just after lunch. Taken 6 hours. 3 Luton Van trips and 7 trips in 7 seat SUVs go get everything moved.
