I own a leasehold flat in Stamford Hill. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold.

There is no need to incur the fees of a Stamford Hill conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My conveyancers in Stamford Hill have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
