The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Ellesmere 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

I own a leasehold flat in Ellesmere. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Ellesmere who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Ellesmere conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Ellesmere, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Ellesmere with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2088
With only 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
