Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this.

Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years left on my flat in Marple. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
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 extended by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. For most situations a specialist may be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document to be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Marple.
