    I've heard of something similar. In simple terms, the lease is drawn up between the auctioneer and the person renting the land. Therefore, the person renting the land has signed a lease stating that they will pay the money to the auctioneer who should in turn (after deducting his/her fees) give the agreed amount to you. So the problem is not between you and the person leasing the land. In this case posession is 10/10 of the law because the person leasing the land has signed a lease and your solicitor has filled you with crap. Get on to your solicitor again and get him to get on to the auctioneer (who I presume drew up the lease) and get the situation sorted between you and the auctioneer. For all you know the person leasing the land has already paid rent to the auctuioneer for this year. From the details you give, the problem exists between you and the auctioneer, not you and the person leased the land. I'm sure you signed an agreement with the auctioneer at the start.
