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.

Karen Woods

Tagged solicitor Karen Woods

I have used Russell and Russell Solicitors for every house sale and purchase - each time quality service. This purchase was extremely complicated due to the chain in my sale but Karen Woods and Diane Asbury were so supportive and ensured the purchase completed and they both stayed behind after 5pm to ensure the funds got to the solicitor for the house we're buying. It was so stressful but they were so supportive and we can't thank them enough. Totally recommend using this firm for both sales and purchases.

Faith Sutton

Tagged solicitor Faith Sutton

During the sale of our house, Faith was exceptionally efficient and had all of our paperwork ready in an impressively quick time. The chain below us was complex and took many months but Faith chased up everything that was needed and enabled us to complete the sale. We would completely recommend Faith for any property sales.
