My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Warrington. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Warrington who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Warrington conveyancing practitioner 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 legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Please note if it is no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension. Please tell me if there are any major works in the planning that will likely add a premium to the maintenance costs? What restrictions are contained in the Warrington Lease?
