Do you need a Lawyer or Solicitor in Thanet (Kent) to help you with your residential lease extension?
Whether you require a lease extension as a leaseholder or a freeholder, Robinson Allfree Solicitors can provide you with the right legal advice and solutions you urgently need.
Our solicitors and lawyers provide specialist legal services for leaseholders or freeholders under the Leasehold Reform, Housing & Urban Development Act 1993, and the Landlord & Tenant Act 1987. We have years of experience in representing our clients in the First-Tier Tribunal and handling complex leasehold renewal cases when the need arises.
Previously, the need to get a residential lease extension before the leasehold term dropped below 80 years left remaining on the lease term, was not understood by freeholders and leaseholders of residential leasehold property. It is now though, because the government has alerted the general public to the effects of leases above or below the 80-year period. The financial consequence to the leaseholder when their lease drops below 80 years is nearly a tenfold increase of the premium payable to the landlord for the lease extension itself!
The Different Types of Residential Lease Extensions
There are two types of residential lease extensions – either a statutory lease extension granted under the Leasehold Reform, Housing & Urban Development Act 1993, or an informal one.
An informal lease extension is an agreement between the freeholder and leaseholder for the lease to be extended (for an agreed period), and in most cases commercially advantageous to the freeholder!
What to do if you are a Leaseholder or freeholder?
Whether you prefer an informal or formal lease extension, it is crucial to understand your legal position. This is because, as time passes, the Landlord’s interest will increase in value, whilst the leaseholders will fall.
We have been successfully negotiating lease extensions since 2003 and regularly negotiate terms for both informal and formal lease extensions. Over the years we have settled lots of cases, many involving highly contentious disputes.
