My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Chirk. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Chirk who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Chirk conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
Chirk Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying

What restrictions are contained in the Chirk Lease? You should be aware that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out what this will be. For most Chirklease extensions you will need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease.
