This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing.
