Leaseholds - Did Conveyancers fail their duty

Interesting article in the Law Society Gazette regarding MP criticism of the conveyancing profession in reference to escalating ground rent provisions. Which were considered entirely normal and acceptable until relatively recently (approx 217/2018).

The very nature of standard practice and current conveyancing procedure is that it changes over time. Perceptions change. Case law reveals issues and practice evolves.

Unfortunately Conveyancers are an excellent scapegoat.

Thanks to the below article in support of a beleaguered profession.
