Hi Glynes. Here we would aggregate from date of settlement putting the two lots into joint ownership. Arrears on the garage lot would stand & we would refer the new owner back to their solicitor/conveyancer to discuss why payment wasn’t made at settlement. I’ve had a couple of these sorts of things over the years & a couple of them have been able to claim payment of the arrears not paid at settlement from some insurance they had with their conveyancer (Stewart Title I think) so its worth them discussing with them. If it remained unpaid we would commence recovery proceedings on the new owners.
Thanks,
