I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Enfield Lock to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Having local Enfield Lock know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Enfield Lock conveyancing solicitor just because they are Enfield Lock based.
I have recently realised that I have Fifty years remaining on my flat in Enfield Lock. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply 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. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord.

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