House title deeds

ash2020

I bought a house with my ex girlfriend in 2015. We bought signed a contract that we both acknowledge that we were both signing as co ownership contract. She gave me the story that the deeds are best kept in the solicitors office for safe keep. I didngt think too much of it.

We have now broken up and i went to see a solicitor to see where I stand with my house asset. The solicitor checked land registry and only my exes name is shown

I have supped my copy of the Co-signed contract that I did receive back in 2015 from the solicitor who looked after our house purchase

My solicitor this week says its just a matter of correcting the land registry office that I am also a Co owner.

Is this going to be a difficult process down anyone know?

I visit my local Co council office today but I was told I need to contact the registry office in Dublin as they are the ones who look after title deeds.

My solicitor said I have 2 years to sort out my house affairs after the calopse of a relationship.

We are not married ect

Had anyone experience any thing like this before

Surely the bank would have the deeds to the house if it is mortgaged? You know your ex. You know how she ticks. So if she’s inclined to mess you about then you’ll need to sort this fast. Get all of the original documentation from the purchase in 2015.

We both used private money to make the purchase. It was a cheap property under 100k we didn't need a mortgage. The title deed certificate is what she claims the solicitors office has for safe keeping

We don't have title deed certificates in this country. It seems like either you were taken for a mug or you are trying to take us for mugs.

The contract I signed with my ex partner with a registered solicitor, Shows that we both Signed the page that states we are both co-owners. its a 3 page document and all looked straight forward. So why is only one name shown up on land registry as just 1 of our names?

I am going to take the matter up with the land registry in Dublin this coming week, I just wondered if anyone had any experience of this thread before

Do you have a copy of the document you cosigned in the presence of the solicitor?

AnRothar

If so your solicitor would be best placed to advise you how to progress.

It's what you are paying them for.

Very true yes I have the detailed cosigned contract. I'm just going to go that route, land registry are too busy to answer my call or return my emails,

They will surly reply to my solicitor quicker than a person over the phone.

I just wanted to see what kind of a process I could expect to endure

It's straightforward, just need to wait for Land registry to process.
