Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Swanland?

The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the day of completion.

I have recently realised that I have 72 years unexpired on my flat in Swanland. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, 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 extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Swanland.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Swanland, conveyancing formalities finalised July 1999.

Corresponding properties in Swanland with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2077
With 53 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
