Top 10 of 4,694 law firms for Short Leases, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Short leases cover leases of properties for relatively brief terms and the way those terms affect rights, charges and future options. A solicitor in this area drafts or negotiates short leases, reviews existing leases for renewal or extension, and handles issues around service charges, ground rent, and forfeiture. They also advise on extending a lease or purchasing the freehold, and on applying to the Land Registry to register changes. The work often involves coordinating with freeholders, managing agents, and housing associations.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive issues are the enforceability of the lease, deadlines for extensions or renewals, and the impact of lease terms on rights of occupancy and ownership. A solicitor provides guidance on securing proper documentation, ensuring correct calculation of charges, and navigating any disputes arising from service charges or renewals within statutory timeframes.

This is the second time I have used Greenwoods. I first used them back in 2020 when I purchased my first house and they were amazing then. I have just used them for a sale and purchase transaction and they have been faultless. They are good at communicating and they happily answer any questions you have. Any jargon that needs clarifying, just ask and they will happily explain what things means. I would definitely use Greenwoods again.

Tagged solicitors Jo Galpin and Rebecca Rinn

We engaged Streathers Solicitors to resolve a short lease. This was somewhat complex since the freeholder was untraceable, and the freehold was purchased via the courts. Rebecca Rinn advised on the correct procedures in this scenario, and she and her team handled the matter with competence and efficiency. Highly recommended.

Fay Rothery

Tagged solicitor Fay Rothery

I was very uncertain about which direction to take when I first sought advice from Fay, but her assertive, clear manner immediately helped me find clarity. She speaks with confidence, and it shows in the way she frames her answers — direct, structured, and genuinely reassuring. Her guidance made my decision‑making straightforward, and I left the one‑hour consultation feeling informed, supported, and relieved. I’m delighted with the service I received and would happily recommend her to anyone seeking clear, confident legal advice.
