Ramsaye-
I'm not sure which one it is, but there were three or four the previous owner had on the place plus their own mortgage - they owed a lot of money I think. We had everything in place to remove them (I don't know the word for it, but some kind of letters that the chargees(?) signed) at the land registry after the sale.
They've all gone apart from one where there was some issue (don't know what) and I'd like something a little more persuasive than me ringing up everyday to get my conveyancing solicitor to treat it as more of a priority than he currently is...

I had a question about charges. I bought a house just over a year ago which had a number of charges against it at the Land registry. Part of the completion involved lawyers exchanging letters saying that these would be dealt with, and they should all have been removed after completion.
I just found out that one of them is still there. I'm not particularly worried about the presence of if it, but I imagine I need it to go before I remortgage and I'm about annoyed about how my old solicitor didn't sort it at the time - I feel like this they didn't fulfil part of their role.
Is there anybody (eg regulatory body) I could reasonably contact to focus their minds and speed them up on resolving it, or do I just have to chase them until they act in getting rid of it?
