Lease Extension

Increasing numbers of properties are built and sold on a leasehold basis and with leasehold property, you are buying the rights to live in a property for a set time.

You may contemplate the advantages of extending the lease term sooner rather than later, and our team of specialists are here to help you get through all the dilemmas from start to finish!

How to qualify?

You need to be a qualifying tenant under The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, which gives lessees the right to surrender the existing lease and acquire a new lease on their property. To be a qualifying tenant, you must have been the registered owner of a property with a long lease for at least two years.
