A colleague of mine used the developer’s solicitor buying a flat in a new build. He ended up with one of those leases where the ground rent increases so much over time the leasehold is valueless.

Would that be actionable? If the solicitor didn't pick it up and highlight it, I'd have guessed that would be negligence.

I would have thought so. I'm not sure what he did, but I think his situation was resolved one way or another as the scandal over these types of lease blew up.
