I would like a little help/advice to buy the freehold of my house, We bought the property in October 1998, from bellway (house builder) who held the lease at that time, the ownership has changed hands a few times since then to different companies, created by bellway I think, the lease runs for 99 years.
The problem I have is – the current company that holds the lease “ABACUS LAND 4 GR2 LIMITED” use a management company to collect ground rent and admin work such as the purchase of the freehold etc. Homeground Management Ltd 104a Park Street LONDON W1K 6NG
These clowns want £108.00 to check with the landlord then tell me how much it will be to buy the lease. No chance.
I know the tenant has a right to buy the lease but do these people have a right to charge for an estimate? I did try with the leaseholder but was referred to Homeground.
Any help and or advice would be appreciated.
