I have been interested in trying to buy a deralict house and have found out by land registry that the high court of appeal has put a charge on the property which an order was made under the queens bench division that no one could sell the house or do anything to it without getting permission from the court. Does anyone know a court would do this,could it be that the owner has died and not left a will?

this normally occurs when the deads have been lost or burnt buy the previous owner probably in a family dispute. The property is then signed over the Queen. You can still enquire about buying the lease for this property if te court is happy with the details. What tends to happen is that someone from the courts will visit the property with your Solicito to decide if you van buy it. Be sure to research a good one who knows about these things as they will blow your chances and money f they are naive. I wne through a similar experience.

May be, that the owner is in a home, and may no longer have the mental capacity to deal with their own affairs, the court will appoint a guardian(usually a relative) or act in that capacity if there are no relatives.In that case, if there is a will the court may allow the will to be executed, any bequests eg personal items furniture will be made, but the items/property willed may not be sold or disposed of until after the persons death.

Yes a court could do it and no it is unlikely that it is due to a person dying without a will (intestate) unless there were some other (criminal) reason involved.
You can take steps to find out why but you would need a solicitor. Find another house to buy!

I think you refer to The Court of Protection which prevents the property of those who can not do so themselves, through illness or other reasons. They do not maintain or repair hence its bad condition. This is why lawyers advise on a n Enduring power of Attorney and a will. they do not make a lot of money on them so the love those who do not take their advice 'cos then they are in Rolls Royce Land and a property in Tuscany

It may be one that has been taken for resale because of it being bought by a criminal with illegal money , go to the court and find out.
