Land Query - No advice sought.

    My query is now different to the one that got locked by admin, I'm hoping that this one won't be locked as I'm trying to find out has anyone been in the same position before and what happened them?

    I'm not looking for advice but I am wondering has anyone found themselves n the same position as this or if anyone could point me in the direction of something similar happening that might be in the public realm.

    Has anyone been in the same position as this?

    My father inherited a piece of land down the country maybe 15 years ago, it’s not a lot of land but it’s worth approx 100k as it’s in a great spot. There’s an old uninhabitable house (if you could call it that), which if knocked down there’d be enough land for a decent plot. Access roads etc… are all there already.

    However, he went to sell the plot recently but was told that the land was already sold (under a different Folio number) and that it wasn’t his. However, he has all the documents stating that he is the rightful owner and that the Land Registry made a mistake; when selling the adjoining plot they included his plot (although they both have different folio numbers). The Land Registry have since told him that the mistake was their mistake but it seems that he has to go down a legal route to get the land back.

    Seriously, contact a solicitor.

    I know I'm skirting close to the wind here lads but I'm not purposely breaking the rules or causing trouble.

    My father already has contacted a solicitor and Counsel as well. He has asked me to check do I know anyone who has gone through something similar thus this thread.

    I'm just wondering has this happened to anyone before, or has anyone heard of it happening before and what was the outcome. I'm no longer requesting advice, thanks Admin.

    I'd say just hold tight until the solicitor comes back; they'll give him the low down.

    all i'll say, while echoing the 'contact the solicitor and never mind relying on eejits like us' line is that the Land Registry is state Guaranteed and if they've made a mistake, they're pretty much obliged to rectify; the reason that a lot of matters take so long to go thru the land registry is that the fine toothcomb is applied to all transactions such that occurrences such as this are rare.
