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 for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the landlord. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Cwmbran.

I acquired a basement flat in Cwmbran, conveyancing formalities finalised October 1998. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Cwmbran with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2084

With just 59 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £20,900 and £24,200 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I bought a house in Cwmbran last 22/3/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HMLR.

I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?

Contact your solicitor - if you are not getting sensible responses, enquire as to their internal complaints process and escalate your problem to a Partner. Registrations for Cwmbran conveyancing are not known to be especially complex.
