Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold flat in Nantyglo. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Nantyglo who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder.

You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
