Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold flat in Hopton. Conveyancing and Bank of Scotland mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Hopton who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Hopton conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Hopton, conveyancing was carried out October 1996. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Hopton with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2088

With 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Our solicitor in Hopton has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Hopton. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that as he is on the bank conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company?

Just because you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your Hopton conveyancing lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with by the lender conveyancing panel who has to balance acting for you and the bank
