This Practice Note, produced in partnership with Katrina Mather of Gatehouse Chambers, considers the practical issues arising from the perspective of a receiver appointed to (or to be appointed to) property which has vested in the Crown bona vacantia, including dealing with the Government Legal Department (GLD) (previously the Treasury Solicitor’s Department (TSOL)) and specifically the Bona Vacantia Division (BVD). It looks at bona vacantia property, disclaimer, involvement of BVD where property is being sold by a receiver and HM Land Registry guidance.
