Hello all.
Thank you all for the site' I have looked in from time to time and found the posts really usful.
I now find myself in a situation and would appreciate some thoughts.
I bought a property on 2006 on a reduced price due to the owner wanting a lifetime lease. no problem except the lifetime lease was never signed. I pursued the sellers solicitor who denied that a lease was ever presented. This went on for about two years until the lady in the house became ill and started to plead through her solicitor that my approach was causing her health to deteriorate. under advice I let the whole affair go and have had no contact with anyone until October 2012 when the ladies solicitor wrote to mine asking if they were still instructed to which my lawyer obviously replied yes. Then nothing. I'm not sure what I should do. I am quite happy for the lady to live their rent free as agreed for the rest of her life, but without the lifetime tenancy in place am I storing up trouble for myself? My lawyer seems relaxed about the affair but I am troubled.
