Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold house in Crowle. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Crowle who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Crowle conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Crowle, conveyancing was carried out April 2006. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Crowle with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2082

With just 58 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £22,800 and £26,400 plus legals.

The suggested premium range 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 comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

This is not necessarily the case and you are at liberty to use whichever conveyancing practitioner of your choosing for your Crowle conveyancing. A conveyancing practitioner recommended by an estate agent may not always be the right property lawyer, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
