My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold flat in Bromsgrove. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Bromsgrove who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Bromsgrove conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
