A homeowner desperately trying to sell his Liverpool apartment in a bid to relocate to care for his parents has voiced his frustration after a ground rent clause blocked him from moving twice.
Johnathan Pascall lives near Sefton Park in a Victorian manor that has been transformed into seven flats. He's been trying to move since the beginning of 2022, with two buyers pulling out at a late stage.
He "started digging" in September, when the second deal fell through, he said: "We didn't get a straight answer from anyone and eventually pieced it together. We tried a company that buys your house for cash, we were that desperate. It was actually their in-house conveyancer who explained the change in law. We didn't fully realise the impact until a couple of weeks ago."
