No idea who has a charge over my house ?

[mooshy]

We bought our home approx. 11 years ago through the old Homebuy scheme

through a housing association called Beth Johnson.

 

we got given a 25 % loan which is repayable at any time in the future,

and whether the house increases or decreases in value they have a 25% return upon sale .

 

We still own the property but its legaly called a charge or something .

 

We put a biggish deposit down ourseleves .

 

The house is worth approx. £170k now and the mortgage is around £60k

 

we are divorcing and I need to contact Beth Johnson to ask them legally

if I can ever transfer this to another property

and at least inform them that divorce is in progress

and I may be the sole owner if the Halifax agree .

 

Beth Johnson seem to no longer exist !

 

Every time I google it Sanctuary Housing comes up

- so ive emailed them to ask who on earth has a charge over my property now .No reply .

 

Im a little shocked that I never received any documentation to say Beth Johnson had transferred ownership

or whatever happened to them,, and that I have absolutely no idea who now has a charge over my house ?

 

Any advise would be very helpful ?

You can check with land registry

Check the Land Registry - there is a small charge for this, but it should tell you who has a charge on your property.

Hi

Thanks for that .

Its £19.50 so I haven't paid it yet will try a couple of other avenues first .

 

 

I spoke to someone in XX which is a big Housing association who bought up lots of the smaller ones - the one who lent me the equity loan being one of them.

 

 

According to them I don't even exist on their records .

I wonder if I should see a solicitor re this ?

There is a fair amount of equity in this home .

Cnecking the LR on line for changes on your property should cost you £3, unless they have put it up recently.

This is not the correct address CitB. This is a private firm who are not affiliated with Land Registry and charge way over the odds for the same servce.

 

The official address is https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/

 

I searched my property last week and it cost £3 for the title deeds and a further £3 if you wanted a plan (optional).

 

Hope this helps.
