I'm in the process of selling my apartment which I've lived in since 2008. One of the things the solicitor has required me to get is the Certificate of Discharge/Exemption for NPPR. I'm just working my way through it and trying to get my head around just what I'm looking at. To be honest, I find this whole sale process a bit intimidating! Anyway, the exemption reason 1 requires evidence the "Property was the owners PPR for one or more of the NPPR charge years 2009 through 2013..." and that evidence used would be utility bills or bank statements for that period. I don't have any of these. The furthest back I can get a utility bill or statement is 2012. What can I do here?
The other thing is "A sworn affidavit confirming they are the registered owner(s) of the property and have resided in the property as their principal private residence on the relevant NPPR liability dates." What exactly does this mean and can this be used instead of the bill/statements.
Sorry if this is a fairly rudimentary question. I've never sold a property before, and like i said, intimidated!
