I only have Sixty One years unexpired on my flat in Brynmawr. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What are my options?

This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder.
