We are aiming to move house in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Bethnal Green. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this page.

After that you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Bethnal Green or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Bethnal Green.

I have recently realised that I have 72 years remaining on my lease in Bethnal Green. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Bethnal Green.
