• Leasehold

    By Guest on 28th Jan 2020

    How can I find out if the previous owner of the property I bought purchased the leasehold? I have lived in my current property for 12 years and never paid ground rent, speaking to my neighbour who has lived in the property next door for at least 40 years said that he believes the lease was purchased by my predecessor but I cannot find any record of it and the buyers solicitor wants me to pay £380 for indemnity insurance. It a small village where I lived and I know the lady who originally owned the land passed away 2 years ago so I can't ask her.

    Check the title register for the property to see who legally owns it. It is available at HM Land Registry and for members of the public I believe it is about £5 to download a copy of the register.
