I am one of 4 properties with equal share of freehold. No management company etc. We just share maintenance between us.
When one of the 4 properties sold last August, one person from each property signed the LPE1. However, in one property there are two names on the deeds (husband and wife) so I presume they jointly own their 25% of the freehold. On the other properties, its all single names on the deeds, so a single person owns that 25%. In August only the husband signed the LPE1. Fast forward to today and I am selling. The husband and wife are currently separated. We have asked him to sign the LPE1 as he signed the LPE1 back in August for that sale. The wife is causing a fuss as she is an attention seeker. She claims she also needs to sign the LPE1 and is thinking of refusing, just because she thinks she can, and she is angry her husband has left.
I pressume the new title deeds as a result of the August sale, show only the husband's name, but I am not sure.
Does anyone know if both names on the deeds need to sign (as we have no management company)? And what happens in cases where one person is content to sign and the other refuses. Many thanks for any help on this.
