I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Chantry who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder.
