We can serve as your Lease Extension Valuer in Horsham, West Sussex. Leasehold Enfranchisement is the encompassing term that refers to the rights of flat or house owners to either prolong their lease or purchase the freehold of their homes. Leases are typically granted for 99 or 125 years, but as they decrease, especially below 80 years, the value of the flat (or house) begins to decline until it becomes challenging to secure a mortgage and subsequently difficult to sell. The law outlines the process enabling you to extend your lease by adding 90 years to the existing unexpired period.

How we can help you

Whether you are a leaseholder seeking to extend your lease or acquire your freehold, or a freeholder confronted with a leaseholder's application, we are here to guide you through the process and offer advice on the optimal route to cost savings and achieving the best value.

We can assist you in comprehending the process, determining the payable premium, negotiating with the freeholder or leaseholders, and coordinating with your solicitor.

How we do it

Extending your lease or acquiring your freehold entails the calculation of various values to determine the premium level payable to the freeholder.

Our proficient team of valuers, registered with the Leasehold Advisory Service and affiliated with the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP), provides dedicated advice to both Freeholders and Leaseholders. This ensures that all our clients derive the maximum benefits from their leases.

Leasehold Enfranchisement

Leasehold Enfranchisement is the collective term given to the rights of flat or house owners to either extend their lease or buy the freehold of their homes. Leases are generally granted for 99 or 125 years but as they get shorter, particularly under 80 years, the value of the flat (or house) will start to fall until it can no longer be mortgaged and then difficult to sell. The law sets out the procedure to enable you to extend your lease by adding 90 years to the existing period unexpired.
