In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Barnstaple and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business lessees, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Barnstaple

If so you will need to inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer should be on the banks panel to avoid added fees and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers. Our search tool can help you find a bank approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Barnstaple
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years left on my flat in Barnstaple. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
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 magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and to produce a report to be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Barnstaple.
