Property lease
I bought a property with a 900 year lease which allowed me right of way at the back of my property. I have now been informed that the owner next door had transfered his lease to my property, ( which he had also owned) and that should not have been done as he was only a lessee himself. I now find myself without a lease or any right of way. What should I do? do I claim from the people who sold me the property.

The owner next door and his wife had died within a week of each other and his son who lived in my house decided to sell them both. His father got the lease in 1912 and it states on the lease that two houses where to be built on the ground and he paid ground rent for both properties. When his son got married he signed my house over to him in 1972 including the lease. I was told by a solicitor that the father had no rights to do this and that his property only was covered by the lease and that mine was not.
