What is a lease extension?A lease extension allows a leaseholder to increase the length of their lease, typically reducing ground rent and improving the value of the property. What is enfranchisement?Enfranchisement is the process by which leaseholders acquire the freehold of their property, either individually or collectively with other leaseholders. ###   When should I extend my lease?It is generally advisable to extend your lease before it falls below 80 years, as costs can increase significantly once this threshold is passed. Can I buy the freehold of my property?In many cases, leaseholders have a statutory right to purchase the freehold, subject to eligibility criteria. We can advise you on your rights and options. ###   Do I need a solicitor for leasehold matters?Yes. Leasehold law is complex and involves strict procedures. A solicitor ensures your rights are protected and the process is handled correctly. ## Request a Call Back
