Finally the sale completed on my house in Box last September but our buyer keeps telephoning me to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Swansea but reside in Box. My lawyer (who is 260 kilometers awayneeds me to execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising.

Back In 2000, I bought a leasehold house in Box. Conveyancing and Britannia mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Box who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Box conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
