by Dan350

We live in a small block of flats where all the leases have about 90 years left to run.

by Dan350

Many thanks, it's encouraging to hear that placing an ad in the local press of the country where the freeholder's company is based might be sufficient to demonstrate to the FTT that we've done all we can to track the freeholder down. I'll get in touch with LEASE for further advice....
