Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold flat in Frodsham. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Frodsham who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Frodsham conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

-
Are there any major works in the near future that could add a premium to the service fees? Please note that where the lease has less than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the flat. Check with your lender that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most Frodshamlease extensions you would need to own the property for two years in order to be entitled to extend the lease. Is there a share of the freehold?
