You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Niton involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I own a leasehold flat in Niton. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage organised. I have received a letter 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 Niton who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Niton conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

    The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders enjoy control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be wrapped into the service charges, although a few managing agents in Niton require tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger works. How much is the ground rent and service charge?
