    However, last year I had the entire papers for the property dating back to the 1910 land purchase sent to me from The Land Registry. I took this to mean that the freehold contract of 99 years was now at an end. If this is so then surely no-one is entitled to claim ground rent off me.

    .


    If this is the case, then the house no longer belongs to you, but now belongs to Morgoed Estates if they are your freeholders.

    This may well help with some of the issues
