I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Woodhall Spa for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Woodhall Spa differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Woodhall Spa approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Woodhall Spa tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Woodhall Spa or who has acted in the same development.

Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Woodhall Spa. Conveyancing and Birmingham Midshires mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Woodhall Spa who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Woodhall Spa conveyancing firm 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 rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
