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.

Saeed  Ahmad

Tagged solicitor Saeed Ahmad

I had an excellent experience with Sabz Solicitors during my property purchase. Saeed Ahmed was always available to help and support throughout the process. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and made the process smooth. They were always available, responded quickly to emails and queries, and kept me updated throughout. Their communication was clear and they were happy to explain anything I wasn’t sure about. I really appreciated their efficiency, dedication, and customer service. I would highly recommend Sabz Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive conveyancing solicitor. Thank you for your support in helping me complete my purchase.

I will always recommend Henna to friends needing a brilliant solicitor. Thank you Henna for all your hard work and support. March 2025

Kiri Kkoshi

Tagged solicitor Kiri Kkoshi

Jane Baker, Vicki Lambert, and the whole wonderful conveyancing team at Healys (Kiri, Sam, Mariana, Alfie, and Kimberley to name a few!) have been our absolute heroes through the complex sale of our flat and purchase of our first house. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this team are some of my absolute favourite people, and I trust them entirely. They are fantastically skilled at their jobs, give timely insightful communication, and are deeply caring. Being part of a chain is unbelievably stressful, and their good humour and expertise was a sanity anchor through it all. Healys tend to have a large chain in copy, which means that asks and emails are always picked up super promptly. They keep really diligent records and this has always meant that the communication has been fantastic. They've gone above and beyond numerous times for us, adjusting and responding professionally to frankly surreal and unique situations caused by other parts of the chain - Kiri Kkoshi, Healy's Head of Real Estate, even intervened personally at one point to resolve an issue. We used their services when we bought our flat originally four years ago and naturally ran straight to them when it became time to sell! I would never use anyone else at this point, and would highly recommend them to anyone working out who to go to for their conveyancing needs. Jane, Vicki, Kiri, Sam, Mariana, Alfie, Kimberley and everyone else at Healys who worked with us these past 10 months - thank you. Truly could not have done it without you.

Graeme Booth

Tagged solicitor Graeme Booth

Graeme dealt with the sale of my late mother's house in Cornwall. Under difficult circumstances of COVID, the service was excellent. He was always responsive to any questions/enquiries and even when he was away from the office he made sure there was continuity, resulting in a prompt sale completion. Thank you

Natalie Charles

Tagged solicitor Natalie Charles

My solicitor was Natalie Charles and she have been excellent, very attentive and very responsive. I am not the most patient client, I know that, and Natalie have been so patient and dealt everything very well. No fault at all. I have already recommended her to my connections.
