Lease Extension Solicitor in Chichester, West Sussex

We can offer valuation advice and collaborate with your lease extension solicitor in Chichester, West Sussex. Leasehold Enfranchisement is the encompassing term describing the rights of flat or house owners to either prolong their lease or acquire the freehold of their homes. Leases are usually granted for 99 or 125 years, but as they diminish, especially below 80 years, the value of the flat (or house) starts to decline until it is no longer eligible for a mortgage, making it challenging to sell. The law outlines the procedure enabling you to extend your lease by adding 90 years to the existing unexpired period.
