Ground rent payments

danncus

not sure where to post this!

I received a letter form a company (full name and address supplied) on saturday , (dated 24/4/2012!)

it does not say whether it is a statement, but says :-
rent arrears c/f 62.50
rent 2.50 to24th dec 2011
total due 65.00

the bottom of the sheet has a remittance slip.
it also has on the reverse lots of small print regarding leasehold reform act 2002 etc

I received a similar letter from them in about 1997 which i ignored.

how can i tell if they own the ground and are legitimate ?

i have just downloaded a copy of the Titles from the land registry - £4!
and the company is not mentioned, although it does state a £5 annual charge (not the £2.50 asked for!) between 2 other named people.

I'm only a locksmith in Cheshire and not very bright!

many thanks

You'll probably get better reponses in the house, buying, renting, selling board.
