If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply 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. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the freeholder. For most situations a specialist may be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located.
