Leases

Owning a leasehold property brings with it specific rights and responsibilities that differ from freehold ownership.

Whether you’re a flat owner looking to extend your lease, buy your freehold, or need advice on the terms of your lease, our specialist solicitors can guide you through the process with clarity and confidence.

Lease extensions and enfranchisement

As the remaining term on your lease shortens, the value of your property can decrease and the cost of extending it can rise.

Extending your lease or collectively purchasing the freehold (known as enfranchisement) helps protect your investment and gives you greater control over your home.

Our team will:

• Advise you on your legal rights and eligibility
• Handle the formal notices and negotiations with your landlord
• Work alongside surveyors to agree fair terms and premiums
• Manage the transaction through to completion and registration
