Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Fifty years unexpired on my lease in Whitworth. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?

If 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 mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder. On the whole a specialist may be useful to try and locate and prepare a report to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Whitworth.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Whitworth, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Whitworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2080

With just 55 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
