Restriction removal

Hi,<br> we are in the process of moving home.&#160;<br> Our solicitor has applied for a restriction to be removed from title.&#160;<br> Has also been expedited I think on the 10/4<br> <br> see details below&#160; <table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tbody> <tr> <td valign=top> <p></p> </td> <td valign=top> <p>K327QVT</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br> ref:&#160; <table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tbody> <tr> <td valign=top> <p></p> </td> <td valign=top> <p>JC/GW/30 Tudorpole</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br> please can you see if this has been approved and removed&#160;<br> <br> &#160;

Hi Lewis - submitted on 10th as you state and expedited on 15th. There are however a few prior applications against the same title which will need to be considered/hastened before the application you mention can be processed. That will happen but at this stage impossible to be definitive re any timescale<br> I will check with colleagues to see if they can offer any insight and will post again once known<br> K327QVT

<p>Thank you Adam,</p> <p>appreciate your quick response.&#160;<br> Yes please - any updates would be greatly received.</p> <p></p> <p>Lewis</p>

<p>Hi Adam,&#160;</p> <p></p> <p>Have you any update on the above? We are aiming to complete this month due to various circumstances.&#160;<br> Once these applications has all been approved by hen things will all start to move quicker.&#160;<br> &#160;</p> <p>Regards&#160;</p>

Hi Lewis - not as yet. The casework team will need to consider each of the prior applications against the same title to advise as to what can/can't happen next. That will take time<br> K327QVT

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p></p> <p>any news from your colleges on any insight?&#160;<br> this is now holding everything up and we have until the 5th of May to complete due to a rics valuation expiring. Any information from you or your colleges&#160;would be a great help.&#160;<br> &#160;</p> <p>many thanks&#160;</p>

Hi Lewis - the prior application to register a new lease is held up as we need more from it's lodging conveyancer.<br> The later applications are being assessed to see if there is a way through to start the processing of the application you have referred to specifically<br> There are two things to comment on here. The first is that the expedited application is to cancel the restriction. As such, if it is in order, it is very likely we will need to serve notice on the named restrictioners to seek their consent to it's cancellation. They are given time to do that and that time will run beyond 5th May<br> The second is to recommend discussing the scenario with your solicitor with regards the need to wait for the restriction to be cancelled before your transaction completes. I suspect that discussion/consideration has already happened but perhaps worth revisiting to see if a different option exists.<br> At present the pending and prior applications are a barrier to speedy progress of the matter but I will update here once I have more from the casework team considering whether anything can be done to assist within the deadline you refer to<br> K327QVT

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p></p> <p>do you have a email address that I can contact you on please?&#160;<br> &#160;</p> <p>Lewis&#160;</p>

Hi Lewis - if you need wider assistance away from the forum then you can contact the support team using our contact form -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/public-guidance-dealing-with-land-and-property#contact-form">Public guidance: dealing with land and property - GOV.UK</a>

Thank you Adam,<br> <br> just enquiring as to how the progress of this is going. Has there been any positive movement to reach the 5th of May deadline?&#160;<br> Lewis&#160;

Lewis - there has been positive movement on the one hand as the application you are chasing has been escalated and referred to one of our lawyers to consider next steps. Those next steps include the crucial element of whether a) the application is in order and b) if wider checks are needed<br> If the answer to a) is No and//or b) is a Yes then the timescale will stretch beyond 5th May.<br> Until the lawyer confirms what's needed we can't offer a concrete update&#160;<br> K327QVT
