This question is probably for Vanilla or MF1, just wondering if a lay person can register a lis pendens or do I have to get my solicitor to do it? I think it's probably the latter, would anyone have any idea of the likely cost? Presumably, if I am required to have my solicitor register it, there would then be the follow-up cost of having it removed also? Any help appreciated.
 
I am not a lawyer but is [broken link removed] any use?
 
Careful now. You can't just go around d.i.y.ing Lis Pendens - a Lis Pendens is only relevant and should only be lodged where there is actually litigation pending ( Lis Pendens) affecting title to land. Not everyone grasps that.

Like most things there are ( potentially serious) consequences for registering a Lis Pendens inappropriately.

How much does it cost? No idea - how big is the problem?

it's to ensure my former partner doesn't sell/transfer the land (which is in her name only) on which we had nearly finished building our house (mortgage in both names). hoping not to end up in court, don't want to escalate matters but also don't want to see land transferred out before we've settled buy-out of house. thanks for the prompt replies.
