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.
