Hi Hamish1205,

Firstly, congratulations on completing your Trust Deed.

On your question, once you receive the formal discharge letter, I am not aware of any time restriction on you being able to sell and benefit from equity in the property. 

I can see your frustration about the mixed messages you're getting.  The key thing to chase them on is your Form 5, Certificate of Discharge. I'd go back to them and ask them to confirm in writing that they no longer hold any interest in your property.

If you still have it, have a look at your original paperwork. This should clearly state the trustee's interest and what happens at completion.

Hopefully others more familiar can join in and help too.

Thanks a lot, it's appreciated!

I'm struggling with Carrington Dean to be honest, they're not clear at all in what their plan is or if the 'letter' I am due is actually my form 5 or something else. 

Once I receive that, do you reckon I can just ask for in writing that they hold no interest?

Thanks 

If I recieve my form 5, are they allowed to claim any equity in my property once it sells? In all honesty I looked through my signed agreement and there's nothing that is clear one way or another. I just can't sell whilst in my agreement.
