Well it was a bad line and I could not hear the agent very well a lot of the time. I did take the advice that I was given and sent my letter to a joint Freeholder who has been totally ignoring my requests so o did get good advice.

It was very reassuring to speak to a human right from the onset, he listened to my problems sympathetically and pointed me in the right direction.
The Solicitor who called was very professional however my problems sympathetically could not be resolved in my favour.
