hi everyone, my partner and i both went bankrupt in feb he has now had a letter regarding the BI in the house..part of it says they will require payment of their solicitors costs in advance of the transaction..is this the £211? or will we have to pay more? it then says there are some other points to consider..the purchaser may want to employ his/her own solicitor or licenced conveyancer to act for him/her . do we have to get a solicitor as well? thanks |

the O/R will have put a mark on the land registry so if you sold the house this would show up on the land registry search people have to do when they buy a house
this is removed when you have paid the 211 fee and paper work is completed, hence restrictions lifted
hope this helps |

You will probably need to get the valuation but just tell the Estate Agent that you need to move due to new employment so want a quick sale. This should mean that they give you a realistic price rather than the one that they would put the house on the market for originally and then reduce in 6 weeks time. |

we still need a valuation do we have to pay for that, im not a very good liar and probably end up telling them the reason why we need it valued, or do they do free valuations no questions asked? any advice greatly appreciated. |

i have just bought my B/I back off the O/R and i just payed the 211 fee and left them to sort it and low and behold 2 weeks later got paper work through to say transaction had been completed, restrictions lifted
it was that easy |

Hi,
Yes, that sounds like the £211. As far as I am aware you don't need your own solicitor unless you really want one and this will also cost you more money. |
