Should I go with them or use an internet firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Pitstone?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that such arrangements tend not to cover disbursements e.g. Pitstone conveyancing search expenses.

There are only 62 years left on my flat in Pitstone. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. For most situations a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Pitstone.
