I own a leasehold house in Kentish Town. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Kentish Town who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Kentish Town conveyancing lawyer 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 rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I have finally had an offer on an flat in Kentish Town agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing lawyer in Kentish Town. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with RBS started with RBS?
It is standard to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Kentish Town conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
