The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing.
