Owning your own home

I would of recorded all correspondence with solicitors.

Just wait there final action and said it by email. You’ve offered to pay without prejudice as to save costs and resolve the matter. They said no. Afayk your up to date records suggests so. So wait for your letter before action detailing the breach of conduct you’ve had. I’d like to know this trumping of agreement came from

The arrangement to pay quarterly was made either in person or over the phone - I can't remember which, phone is more likely. There is no written evidence of it - which is why Martin is saying that it has no authority. But, the payment history that the solicitor sent me shows us paying quarterly, like clockwork, from the first payment in March 2011 to today (apart from March 2020 which I paid early!)

So Martin is saying that the lease trumps a verbal agreement, and that we are in arrears.

I'm saying that the lease doesn't trump the verbal agreement, proof of which can be seen in how we've paid over the years, and in the fact that Martin has never raised the quarterly payments with us in that entire period (apart from now), when it's convenient for him to pretend it doesn't exist.
