Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Flitwick. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Flitwick who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Flitwick conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Flitwick, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Flitwick with a long lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2078

With only 53 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
