Lease Extension
Your dedicated Lease Extension solicitor will guide you seamlessly through the process
Put your trust in the experts
Extending your lease, when conducted without the necessary knowledge and experience of the law, can quickly become a long and complicated process.
At Goughs Solicitors we have the expertise to discuss what is involved, the costs and how our experts can offer you the right advice to ensure the process of your lease extension runs smoothly.
Extending your lease
If you live in a leasehold property which is coming towards the end of the leasehold period, and you aren’t looking to move properties, you will need to look at the options available to extending your lease. Luckily, you have come to the right place to answer any queries you might have.
Your Lease Extension questions answered
In short, the answer is yes. Whilst it would be tempting to negotiate the terms on your own to save costs, we strongly recommend against this.
The freeholder could for example add additional land charges or not increase the term as they should. If you choose a more formal route, your ground charges will be reduced to nothing and the term will be extended by 90 years.
Lastly, the formal route will offer legal protections and put in place timescales so you know where you stand and the freeholder can’t delay the process.

Lorraine Vaun-Davis
This is the third time Lindsey Nolan has acted for me. Each time I have found her to be highly professional, super responsive and detail orientated, which is exactly what you need during complex conveyancing transactions. She’s also great at managing unrealistic expectations, mainly mine! I have no hesitation in recommending Lindsey and the whole Gough’s Conveyancing team.
