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.

It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Bramford.
