Having lived in Selston for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything.

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years remaining on my flat in Selston. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
If 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 enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder.

It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Selston.

20 days into buying a property in Selston. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect the salability of the property?
Selston conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
