I would like to buy my freehold. Is there a way that I can find out who holds the deeds for my house?
You can contact the Land Registry to find out who the registered freeholder is, and if necessary obtain a copy of the freehold title register which should list the owners’ names and addresses and provide information about the length of the lease, covenants etc. The freeholders should have kept this information up to date. If for some reason they haven’t you could make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal but unless your lease contains some particularly restrictive stipulations or is coming to an end, I would suggest this may not be worth your time and trouble. Your landlord can only seek to recover unpaid ground rent going back six years.
