My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Leamouth. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Leamouth who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
