Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold house in Oldham. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Oldham who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Oldham conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note 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.

Oldham Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should consider before buying

    What is the name of the managing agents? How much is the annual service fee and ground rent? What restrictions are contained in the Oldham Lease?

How does one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a property in Oldham?

If a Oldham property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale your lawyer would just be required to evidence as to the reason the other proprietor is not included in the conveyance, ordinarily this is in the form of the probate documents.

With a view to making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased person removed from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
