Hi,
Although there has been recent changes to the CO conditions,has there been any change regarding joint ownership but only one debtor?.
I have read a few articles regarding CO's and restrictions, this is an extract from an article re Land Registry Act Rule 2003: 'However, if the property was jointly
owned by the debtor with other non debtors,for example husband and wife owning the property and only one of them being the actual debtor, the creditor was not entitled to enter an agreed notice.
Instead the creditor could only file a ‘restriction’ at the Land Registry in the following terms: “No disposition of the registered estate is to be registered
without a certificate signed by the applicant for registration or his conveyancer that written notice of the disposition was given to [creditor...] being the person with the benefit of an interim/final charging order on the beneficial interest of [name of... debtor].”
Apparently this restriction was and remains pratically useless.

A change here would be worrying.
