This area covers statutory entitlement to extend a long lease for qualifying flats and houses under English law, primarily the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. A solicitor helps a leaseholder prepare and serve the formal notice, assesses eligibility, negotiates a premium and terms with the freeholder, gathers valuation evidence, and, if required, brings or defends an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to seal an extended lease.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The extension affects the lease length, ground rent and the premium paid, with deadlines and potential disputes over calculation. A solicitor protects the client’s position through precise notices, valuation evidence, regulatory checks, and, if needed, tribunal proceedings where terms cannot be agreed.
