We can offer valuation advice and collaborate with your lease extension solicitor in Croydon, South London. Leasehold Enfranchisement is the inclusive term denoting the rights of flat or house owners to either extend their lease or acquire the freehold of their homes. Leases are typically granted for 99 or 125 years, but as they diminish, especially below 80 years, the value of the flat (or house) begins 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.

How we can help you
