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 enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Bognor Regis.

Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day matters such as the tidiness of the common parts. Enquire of other tenants what they think of their management. In conclusion, find out the dates that the service fees are due to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending the funds.
