An interim charging order is the first step of registering an interest in somebody else's property, usually because of bad debt.
When the interim order has been issued a copy is sent to the debtor and the creditor, and the creditor must then register it.
There will be a hearing where the judge makes the decision to issue the final charging order.
The debtor has seven days after receiving the copy of the interim order to object.
If the judge issues the final charging order the creditor informs the land registry. When the property is sold this debt must be satisfied before the debtor gets the proceeds.
The creditor cannot force the sale of the property, but interest accrues until the property is sold.
