Top 10 of 4,693 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.

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.

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

Neelam Trikha

Tagged solicitor Neelam Trikha

Neelam Trikha managed a significant number of (often intractable) lease extensions on behalf of our freehold company over an extended period of time.  I found her to be incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and persistent but most importantly personable which made Neelam a real pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Amphlett Lissimore and Neelam will certainly be the first person I contact for all of my future lease extension needs.
