Renewing/Extending Leases and disposing of or acquiring freeholds
This complex area creates much confusion and scope for error. Over the years a duty of laws have been introduced to give householders rights either to extend their long leases or manage the running and upkeep of their buildings or in some cases to acquire a freehold interest, usually jointly with others in the same building.

We can help landlords make the most of their investments within the limits of the legislation whether by selling extended lease terms or selling the freehold subject to these leases.
