My father-in-law has urged me to use his conveyancers in Harlington. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or family who have previously instructed the firm that you are contemplating using.
I own a leasehold flat in Harlington. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Harlington who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Harlington conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1950’s flat in Harlington. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for a lease extension?
