Can I sell a property with a restriction on the title?
Yes, you can sell a property with a restriction on the title, but the restriction must be dealt with before the sale can complete.
A restriction is a legal condition registered with HM Land Registry that limits how the property can be transferred. It is often used to protect the interests of another party.
Common examples include:
- A requirement for consent from a third party
- Restrictions linked to trusts or joint ownership
- Conditions relating to lenders or management companies
Your solicitor will identify the restriction early in the process and confirm what needs to be done to satisfy it. This may involve obtaining consent, providing documentation, or ensuring certain legal steps are followed.
While restrictions can add complexity, they do not prevent a sale. The key is handling them efficiently to avoid delays.
