Top 10 of 4,694 law firms for Formal Lease Extensions, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Formal Lease Extensions cover the statutory route for long leaseholders to extend their lease, typically flats, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 or related provisions. A solicitor handles drafting and serving notices, negotiating with the freeholder, and pursuing the extension through price agreement or referral to a tribunal if needed. They also advise on the impact on service charges, ground rent, and the new lease terms, and manage the conveyancing steps to register the extended lease.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act creates deadlines and strict steps, such as serving a Section 42 notice and potentially negotiating a price under Section 45. If terms cannot be agreed, the matter may progress to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal. A solicitor provides regulatory knowledge, ensures compliance, and coordinates the related registrations and notices to protect the client’s interest and avoid gaps in title.

Shahar Sadat

Tagged solicitor Shahar Sadat

We’ve used Sweeney Miller in Sunderland both for the purchase of our flat in 2023 and more recently for our lease extension in 2026, and we’ve had a great experience on both occasions. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. They kept things clear and straightforward, were always happy to answer questions, and made what can often feel stressful much easier to manage. A special thank you to Megan Martin-Lawrence and Shahar Sadat for all of their help and support, it was really appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sweeney Miller and they’ve definitely become our go-to solicitors for home-related matters.

Alex Kilby

Tagged solicitor Alex Kilby

I used Devonalds Pontypridd to buy my first home - Alex and his team were wonderful. They used an app to share documents and communicate which meant it was incredibly easy to keep track of everything and response time was often within minutes. Everything was outlined clearly and I never felt like I was bothering them asking additional questions along the way. There were a couple of bumps along the way that needed sorting - Alex handled this all so the sale was very much stress free! I've already recommended Alex to a friend who's currently using him for the purchase of her first home too.

Tagged solicitor Bakshi Dhanda

I cannot thank Bakshi and her team enough for their solid expertise, help and support to drive through a successful completion for my very recent house purchase! Excellent and prompt communications, clear and responsive explanations and generally an incredible service from beginning to end. I first used Bakshi a couple of years ago to sell my house which was super smooth and whilst this house purchase had a few obstacles, I felt in a highly expert and capable pair of hands. I will continue to keep recommending Gepp as the best solicitors to deal with! Huge thanks yet again Brilliant Bakshi!!
