I purchased my property 4 years ago. It had been staircased 100% in 2007. My solicitor at the time was happy with a letter from the freeholder confirming this. I am now selling the property (using the same solicitor I purchased through). My buyer's solicitor has requested the memorandum of staircasing. I don't have it. The freeholder doesn't have it, although their records show it is owned 100% and they have offered to write to the solicitor to say this (but this isn't enough for the buyer's solicitor). We are hoping the solicitor who dealt with the staircasing (although this was 11 years ago) has a copy on file still. My concern is what happens if we can't get this memorandum. Does it mean I will never be able to sell my property and if this is the case do I have any legal protection. I am really anxious at the moment and feel sick and can't stop crying
