It has come to my attention via my broker that my Hellesdon the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?

I own a leasehold flat in Hellesdon. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Hellesdon who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Hellesdon conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
