Reclaiming assigned share of freehold from reluctant landlord

by Asking4aFriend

We bought a flat from someone (let’s call him A) who owned two flats in the building both originally bought with share of freehold. However, A seems to have been unable to get his share of freehold for the flats because the other freeholder (landlord) in the building, who was supposed to have just...

Many thanks pilman, that is very helpful. I've checked the title and it shows the freehold is owned by the dissolved limited company. What does it mean that the freehold is now owned by the Crown as you say? Can the seller and I claim our share of freehold from the Crown and if so, how do I find out...

Obtain the register of title for the freehold from Land Registry's web-site at a cost of £3.
That will confirm who is the current named freeholder.

If that is a limited company that has been dissolved without a transfer to a private individual then the freehold is now owned by the...

by Asking4aFriend

Thank you Gordon999. We have it in writing that the share of freehold that was previously attached to the flat would be assigned to us through the purchase. The issue is that the seller did not reclaim the two shares of freehold for his two flats before selling the one flat to us. However, from what...

by Gordon999

Many people take risks everyday. Crossing the road is a risk but if you look left and right before stepping forward , you hope you can complete without being hit by a passing car. So looking at the legal pack before the auction starts is equivalent to "look left and right" at the road crossing....

Auction purchase - No solicitor

by Bengt Lagander

Was at an auction before Xmas and met a couple who regularly buy at auction. They dont use mortgages or a solicitor to complete once the hammer has fallen

They said there was no conveyancing work only TR1 to submit to land registry.

That got me thinking, has anyone else ever...

If you have it in contract that a share in the freehold would be transferred to you, you can make an application to the Magistrates Court to issue the share to you. Make an enquiry with the Court's Manager....

The fraud point is a good one. As far as employing a conveyancer to review each legal pack this muat be an individual decision. For my part i may only get 1 lot in every 10 bid on so not realy economic to review all these at several hundred pounds each. I take advice when i dont understand the legal...

Selling my leasehold flat; owner of building not playing ball, advice please!

by zzhallk

Hi everyone. I've reached a brick wall with the sale of my leasehold flat and not sure where to go next, any help much appreciated!

We bought the flat back in 2001 and in 2004 had to get the lease altered to allow subletting so we could rent it out. That was carried out and we've been renting...
