Hi All,

Thank you for you replies.
I have a name of the freeholder but it is that woman's grandfather and the address they gave us is of the property upstairs. I queried that during the sale but previous owner's solicitor replied that this is the address they gave them.
I also questioned freeholder daughter when she ONCE came by and she refused to give me their actual address.
I will look into the leaseholders advice centre- perhaps they have any info how to best handle this.
For the council - will be calling again tomorrow.
And it is sad Tinkerbell that you had to give in and move at the end. It is quite depressing thought for me as given the prices nearly doubled up in the last two years here I would be forced to move out of the area. And I really like it here being next to Blythe Hill Fields and near good schools.

I think I will try the solicitor route, though they do not pick up post from the flat upstairs?

Thanks
J
