It is possible that they could have handled otherproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Dockland Settlement conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I own a leasehold house in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Dockland Settlement who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Dockland Settlement conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
