You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Geddington to discover Conveyancing in Geddington in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the whole property - which is definitely better. You should double check with your lawyer but it would appear that your property lawyer is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured.
