Hi!

Just after some advice about paperwork which I reeeaaalllly want to get rid of. It is regarding :

1 - A property purchased around 7 years ago
2 - The same property now SOLD about a year ago

There's masses of stuff from the solicitor - usual correspondence, lease info, land registry stuff, management company stuff, plans from the original developers etc etc.

Do I need any of it?? Now that I have nothing to do with the property? Assume that the new owners have everything that THEY need from their solicitors upon their purchase of it last year?

Thanks! Just hate keeping unnecessary stuff and don't want to spend time scanning everything if I don't need to.

Thanks in advance :-D

I'd be getting well and truly rid. It's a year gone now and you don't own the house. To keep it would be just needless clutter

I'm pretty ruthless though Grin But otherwise too just end up 'hanging on to it' for no good reason >hard star at my late parents who had paperwork dating back to 1985. Ice enjoyed sorting through all that this year>
