Things not going to plan!

2011 I move into my flat and immediately realise a lot of the information I have been given about it is incorrect e.g. electrics up the creek and gas illegal, whereas I had a certificate saying all was well!.  I had notified my solicitors prior to the purchase that the plans were incorrect and I thought corrected plans were arriving post purchase but they never did.   According to the plans to my home my internal staircase is communal and so is my individual door, whilst the promise that all the frontage was mine was evidenced in some documents but not in the details held by the Land Registry. In 2012 the solicitors registered my ownership and got this response.

Part of the land shown by red edging on the plan t the lease does not fall within the lessor;s title and is registered under another title.   .... The plan attached to the letter...... keep the letter and plan I have the letter but no plan, not one with any colour and the other land is not clear. Who or what does this refer to.    and what did it mean for the future sale of my flat. I have no idea, so it has always unsettled me, but getting the flat legal in other ways was my main focus till this year.

Nevertheless in 2013 I spoke to Land Registry, they agreed the plans were incorrect and they seemed to advise at that time getting a solicitor onto it and therefore I suggested to the person about to buy the flat downstairs and share the freehold that they get their solicitor to do it on all our behalf.  Their solicitor did not think incorrect plans were an issue.

This April I returned to the matter. I was advised to extend the lease using 1.1.1. - which made no sense as I wasn't extending the lease. I was told I could write in which I did,  but I did not get a response. I was again advised to write in and I sent in photos.  But still got no where. I was advised to use another form which again I did not understand so begged for someone in plain English to tell me what I needed to do. I spoke to someone who seemed to give me the correct information I was told I needed form TP1.  and to do an ID1. I set about arranging for bills and a new council tax to be sent to me. I got a surveyor to draw up the new plans to go with the TP1.  Today trying to fill in the TP1,  I could not make head or tail of it.  So I rang up Land REgistry and yes, they told me to write in.  They were also quite rude, assuming I had taken it upon myself to do things incorrectly all these years rather than trying to unsuccessfully follow their information.  So some 7 years since I bought the property I am back where I started and even though I have evidenced to them several times now that I do have a staircase and a door, here I go again!. 

I have always said I am happy to have a salary to get things wrong too,  I can spend years giving incorrect information if the Government wants!  However, it would just be nice to be given the correct information and in a simple straight forward form from the outset.

 Contested space, my vital pots.
