Is there any way to check if someone’s house is leasehold or freehold?
I received a demand for ground rent for my mum’s house. I was under the impression she’d bought the lease several years ago. I queried this with the solicitor charged with collecting the ground rent - he said she hadn’t bought the lease. Fair enough, I paid the ground rent and arranged for a surveyor to come next week and sort out a price for the lease so I can sell her house.
On checking with land registry and on the gov.uk website, both say the property is freehold.
Is there a foolproof way to check for sure?
Thank you
