Lease Extension

We all leave things till the last minute, but taking the time to extend your lease can help you avoid problems.

Lease extensions - legal advice

From Christmas cards to car insurance, we all leave things till the last minute. As long as the cards arrive in time for the big day all’s well. Leaving the car insurance till the last minute can cost money because we don’t have time to look around for the best deal. In our opinion it is best to extend a lease while there is still 85-95 years remaining, increasing the value of your leasehold property.

Why do I need to extend my lease?

  • Letting the length of your lease drop too low can seriously affect the value of your home
  • The longer you leave it, the more it is likely to cost you to extend your lease
  • Estate agents will tell you it is more difficult to sell a leasehold property with less than 90 years remaining
  • Mortgage companies can refuse to lend on a shorter lease
  • A shorter lease is likely to be used by buyers as a tool to negotiate a lower sale price.

Very informative all the time, clear instructions and a very fast result. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.
