Dear land registry folk.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> Can anyone else help.&#160; We are selling a property and the buyers solicitor wants to know what the entries relate to under&#160; 'charges' on the title deed and our conveyancer says a redemption statement will be needed to ascertain whether the sale proceeds can cover the redemptions.<br> <br> There is an ancient charge from 1964 which we can only guess was our parents original mortgage.&#160; This was paid off so many years ago but no idea when and both have now died.&#160; Probably more than 30 years ago but no copy filed here.&#160; Then there is the following from 6th April 2018 'Proprietor: BARCLAYS BANK UK PLC (Co. Regn. No. 9740322) of Meridian House, Anchor Boulevard, Crossways Business Park, Dartford DA2 6QU, trading as The Woolwich.' no actual charge mentioned.<br> <br> Neither my sister or I had an account with them then or a loan, ever.<br> <br> Is this solely the change from Woolwich to Barclays?&#160; What evidence can we get for the buyer's (frankly very unpleasant) solicitor?<br> <br> Does anyone know what we need to do?&#160; This is holding up a chain.&#160; Thank you in advance.

Dear Jennifer - I can see that you've also used our contact form to raise the same enquiry. The support team will check and respond asap<br> In essence you will need to pursue the matter with the named lender (Barclays) to get them to discharge (remove) the still pending legal charge. It was a secured loan taken out by your late Father with Woolwich originally&#160;<br> Entries 4 and 5 in the C Charges Register go together to confirm the date of the secured loan and the lender. They are not separate entries.<br> I would recommend sorting through your late Father's paperwork/accounts to see if you can identify the roll/account number for the 1964 charge and/or anything that may confirm that it was paid off with Woolwich/Barclays.&#160;<br> For example he may have been sent the Charge Certificate by the lender when the loan was paid off&#160;<br> Do speak to your legal rep as well for clarity around what's required<br> LN186854
