    Try not to get on the wrong side of the freeholder - they can make your life more difficult than you can make yours!
    Can't emphasise this enough. The day will come when you need something from the freeholder. If they have you in mind as "the numpty who tried to get out of a year's ground rent because of the date on the invoice", things will go badly for you.
