My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Silvertown. Conveyancing and TSB mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Silvertown who previously acted has now 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 new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Silvertown conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line 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.

After years of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Silvertown. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Where there is a missing freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Silvertown property is 46 Credon Road in January 2014. On 11 September 2013 Deputy District Judge Price sitting at the Bow County Court made a vesting order that the freeholder surrender his lease and be granted a new lease of the Premises on such terms as may be determined by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).The appropriate sum as concluded by the Tribunal was £7225 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 69.77 years.

My partner and I intend to buy our 1st house in Silvertown. Conveyancing solicitor already appointed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not necessary as the property was only constructed in 2001.

You would be best advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is over ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues get a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
