I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Teignmouth for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Teignmouth conveyancing specialists.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Teignmouth I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Teignmouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Teignmouth. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Teignmouth who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Teignmouth conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

In this scenario the tenants benefit from being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is often employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. How is the lease structured?
