Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold house in Cwmcarn. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Cwmcarn who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Cwmcarn conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Cwmcarn Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is often retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. For most Cwmcarn leaseholds the cost for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Cwmcarn obliged leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against major works. Where a Cwmcarn lease has 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 content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Cwmcarnlease extensions you would be required to have owned the residence for 24 months in order to be legally able to carry out a lease extension.
