I only have Fifty years unexpired on my flat in Llandaff North. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What should I do?
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 Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. On the whole a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing.
