A week or so I wrote:
"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...
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?"
I just found out that it's the vendor's solicitor that's refusing to fulfil their side of the arrangement - apparently they need to return some form to my solicitor which the land registry needs to remove the charges. The vendor's solicitor is apparently ignoring all contact.
The vendor's solicitor is in breach of his undertakings, but is there anything else / more formal I can do to try to force this issue (presumably aimed at the vendor's solicitor)? Both mine (and the vendor's) solicitor are insisting that all communication only happens between the two of them... BUT NO COMMUNICATION IS HAPPENING :(
