Ground Rent

Hey again, I seem to be full of questions tonight! I'm just not sure who to ask about this, and because I've had a load of questions answered by this site by just searching, I thought I'd ask you guys. I bought my house Sept 05 and in July 06 I received a bill for outstanding ground rent. I knew we would have ground rent…

Forgot to say!

I had this old ground rent issue in the past, I was advised that I was liable to pay it, but that my solicitor should have reduced the purchase price to take into account any ground rent owing.

As it was a relativly small amount, I paid it, and made a mental note to check out the ground rent situation next time I buy a house

Try CAB and see what they say!

Cheers, Des.
