Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Murton. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage are in place. 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 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Murton who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Murton conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

-
How much is the ground rent and service charge? Does the lease include onerous restrictions? The majority of Murton leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for the upkeep of the block set on behalf of the freeholder. If you acquire the apartment you will have to meet this liability, normally quarterly accross the year. This could be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common areas. In all probability there will be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a significant figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because on occasion it can be prohibitively expensive.
Me and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Friday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancing practitioners then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked the Post Office to send me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a conveyancer in Murton on the panel for the Post Office.
