We purchased our home late 2011, we are in the process of extending and remortgaging and have hit a snag.
The NPPR charge for 2011 was paid by the former owner, we were able to get a certificate of exemption for 2012 and 2013 but the years 2009 and 2010 are stopping my solicitor from drawing down our new mortgage. The previous owner did live in the house but when we bought the house in 2011 the solicitors on our side and the previous owners side failed to get a signed declaration stating they lived in the house in 09 & 10.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to proceed with the solicitors (tracking down the former owner myself isn't really a viable option in my mind). The charge against the household is 4k. My solicitor has suggested I sign a declaration stating that they will with old this amount from the mortgage amount if it's Not sorted by the time of the last draw down. I'm struggling to sign anything to such effect and feel the previous solicitors need to rectify the mistake.
My solicitor has stated they will accept a declaration from the previous owners solicitor stating that they are aware that the person was resident in the PPR in the years in question
