  • Last thing outstanding for us is again due to our Freeholders' solicitor folding and their clients moving to a new firm. We haven't paid the last 2 years' Ground Rent (2x £100) due to not being reminded in 2019 and having a kid (no excuse, but it's likely why it slipped our mind - it was always done by cheque, so not a 'set and forget' DD), and this year there being no solicitor to send the GR to. The new one just hasn't told us how we can pay it. I have the £200 ready to staple to whoever will give us a receipt to say it's up to date.

    I've asked the freeholders directly if I can just give them the money in exchange for them saying "yep, we're good".

  • If you haven’t received a formal ground rent demand I don’t think there’s an issue. I’ll leave it to a lawyer to confirm.

  • It seems to be the only thing that the buyer's solicitor is waiting for. Freeholder has just pawned it back on to the unresponsive solicitor again. FML. Might just bury 200 notes in the garden and declare it paid.
