Not sure where I can put this thread but so I'll start here - apologies if it's in the wrong place.
My parents are looking at paying off their ground rent (to become freehold) to a company Birdfield Securities. They've been paying rent every year since 196*.
This particular company has no phone number or way to contact them other than post.
Has anyone had any experience with them? I rang the Land Registry yesterday and they said it was legit, it's just the information on how to proceed is pretty sparse on the document. It sounds like you pay 145e for an application fee and then I'm assuming they will send you a bill with the actual figure you need to pay for the ground itself.n They send you out a vesting cert which you then register with the Land Registry.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has gone through this process and if what I have understood is correct?
Thanks!
