Hi everybody, I am hoping someone might be able to help here.
My landlord advised that they wanted to sell the freehold as the 2 of the trustees had died.
I gave them 2 offers which were declined and the 3rd accepted.
as the process of the mortgage took a long time they wrote and said that they were placing it into auction, the auction was in Feb and it did not sell only due to the fact i believe that there were rent arrears which was agreed that all rents to be paid upto date at the completion time.
The property went again into the next auction by the auction date we were ready to exchange contracts, however the some one else made a deal with the auctioneers and they approached the landlords with his offer and they accepted prior to the auction date. we had already wrote and said that we were ready to exchange,!!
they completed the sale with the other person, who then came to see me and said he was the new landlord.!!
The new landlord wrote to me and said that he was now going to spilt the property into 2 residential above and commercial below, 2 new tenancies and the rent was to be increased. There were still arrears of the rents due. I got a letter from old landlord stating arrears and future rents to pay to new landlord. I have since paid the arrears, but there was 2 invoices outstanding which the new landlord paid and now wants to recover from me, and has set the rent payment against them and now states i am still in arrears!! now wants to charge interest as well.
he has tried to bully me into signing a new tenancy application, has lied to me about the old lease and told me that this expired and ceased to exist when he took over.
is there anyone who can give me some advise please.
