We don’t just look after you, we look out for you. That means we bring you insights, advice and keep you up to date on all kinds of legal matters so you can keep ahead.
We match a member of the team with the right expertise to every client, who will invest time getting to know you, who will look after your interests and ensure you have access to the whole firm when you need it.
The legal and financial matters might be complex, but we aim to keep things straightforward and explain everything in terms that are relevant to you.
The number of years remaining on your lease can have a significant impact on the asking price of your home. Many leases are granted for a period of 99 to 125 years, but once the term of your lease has gone below 90 years it is likely the asking price of your property will fall. Once it has gone below 80 years, few mortgage lenders will lend against your property, limiting the purchase to cash buyers only.
Extending your lease can be a complex and expensive process, but it will significantly increase the value of your home. To formally extend your lease, it is important to use a legal specialist who can tell you whether you are eligible for a lease extension, and take you through the whole process. Your solicitor will ensure your legal rights are protected with the right agreement in place, and take care of registration and other formalities.
Don’t leave extending your lease to the last minute. It can be a lengthy process, and delay could be costly and impact the value of your home. Our conveyancing team will help you through all the legal aspects of your lease extension, keeping you informed at all times and overcoming issues that may arise.
