I only have 68 years left on my lease in Havant. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application 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 have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing.
