Perhaps someone can advise me on this. I just got a note in the door from someone in Athlone (Noel O'Gara) who claims that the I as the owner of my house owe him a sum of money for ground rent (which apparently hadn't been paid since 1987 although I only purchased it last year)?
I am pretty certain that the solicitor who dealt with our purchase of the house ensured that the the house was freehold before we accepted the purchase as she was adamant that any outside interests be settled by the sellers before we signed the final contracts.
I may be mixed up here so if anyone can advise me as to whether this is genuine or just another scammer chancing his luck (as it seems to me) I would be grateful for the advice.
Thanks for any help that people can offer.
