Does anyone have problems with the company they pay their ground rent to - charging exorbitant

[Tinker]

I do and it's holding up the exhange on my house. Had to pay then ?85 to answer a question! Which they haven't done.

Can you not buy the freehold ?

Want to exchange next week, would have done years ago if knew how long I'd be here. Am I actually the freeholder - the landlord for teh other leaseholders in teh street.

Anyone else? Don't want to name them as don't want this post to come up if googled but are London based.

I wouldnt be at all suprised if its the old company from our flat. They were horrendous. We ended up forming a company with the other 30 flats and buying a shared freehold, but it took 2 years ish and cost alot.

Sorry, just reread that with no kids shouting! If you are the freeholder, why are you paying ground rent to someone else? It should be yours, or at least paid through a management company to deal with the lot, surely?

Well, I used to pay chief rent and collect ground rents. This was all sold on but unclear what is now the situation. Was co E & M Ltd?

Nope.Hurst Management (trading under a succession of names though, so you never know). You really need to know what the situation is. I cant begin to tell you what a nightmare it all was for us!

Well, tbh, I think it's easy but they're making it difficult by not responding. Hate them.
