Leasehold reform work deals with rights to extend a lease or to buy the freehold of a property where you own a lease. A solicitor handles the process by drafting and serving the statutory notices, negotiating with the landlord, arranging valuations, and coordinating any required court or tribunal steps to determine price or terms. They also manage counter-notices, gather evidence of occupancy and ownership, and protect deadlines to keep rights alive.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The act creates formal, time‑bound steps: you must serve notices by strict deadlines, and delays can forfeit rights or reset the process. A solicitor ensures accurate notices, guides valuation disputes, and argues your position in any resulting proceedings, such as a tribunal hearing, safeguarding your ability to extend the lease or acquire the freehold.
