I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Yelverton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Yelverton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Yelverton. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct 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 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Yelverton who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Yelverton conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Yelverton, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Yelverton with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2081
