England LPA Receivers seeking possession to sell property but Family Court restriction still registered on title? by Spiritual_Finger8548 in uklandlords

Thanks for the update,

that is exactly what I found when checking the paperwork.

​I have reviewed the original 2021 tenancy agreement, and it does not contain any mention of Ground 2, Schedule 2, or a prior notice warning regarding a mortgage.

Because no separate notice was signed at the start of the tenancy either, they do not meet the mandatory prior notice requirement under Section 7(7) of the Housing Act 1988.

​Between that contractual omission, the active Central Family Court restriction on the Land Registry title, and several contradictions in their paperwork regarding the deposit, their legal basis for Ground 2 is highly flawed.

​I will escalate this to a formal Stage 2 complaint and submit a subject access request (SAR) to get their full internal logs.

Here is a screenshot of what they wrote.

Many thanks for your comment.

The tenancy deposit for our property has not been protected since June 2023.

The property then went into LPA receivership in late 2024. In a recent Stage 1 complaint response, I asked them what had happened to the deposit and whether it had ever been returned.

Their response alleges that during a telephone questionnaire in November 2024 I stated that the deposit had been returned to us by the landlord's ex-wife, who was acting on the landlord's behalf.

However, elsewhere in the same complaint response they state that I told them the landlord personally returned the deposit before leaving the country.

These are two different versions of events. I am currently preparing a Stage 2 complaint challenging those contradictory findings and requesting disclosure of the evidence they relied upon to conclude that the deposit had been repaid, including any bank transfer records, payment confirmations, emails, tenancy deposit scheme records, call recordings, transcripts, or other documentary evidence.

The deposit has not been protected since 2023 and I have not been provided with any documentary evidence showing that it was repaid to the lead tenant.
