Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold house in East Finchley. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage organised.

The conveyancing practitioner in East Finchley who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a East Finchley conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in East Finchley. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the sum to be paid.

The Tribunal found that the premium payable for a lease extension should be £31,665. This case affected 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 56.65 years.
