Lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement services in London and the Home Counties

At Capital Chartered, we specialise in professional advice and valuations for lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. Whether you’re a leaseholder or freeholder, our expertise ensures a smooth and efficient process, safeguarding your financial interests while navigating the complexities of property law.

What are lease extensions and enfranchisement services?

Lease extensions involve increasing the term of a lease agreement to maintain or enhance property value, while leasehold enfranchisement allows leaseholders to collectively purchase the freehold of their building. Our services cover both residential and commercial lease extensions, offering tailored advice for various client needs.

Our services include:

  • Valuation for lease extension: Accurate assessments to calculate fair premiums

  • Comprehensive enfranchisement guidance: Supporting both leaseholders and freeholders in navigating property law

  • Expert negotiations: Representation to achieve mutually agreeable outcomes

 

Why do lease extensions and enfranchisement matter?

Engaging expert services ensures:

  • Preservation of property value: Properties with leases under 80 years experience reduced marketability and higher valuation for lease extension costs

  • Legal compliance: Assistance with lease extension agreements and representation at The Property Tribunal

  • Strategic decision-making: Protect your financial position with accurate leasehold extension valuations

  • Access to rights: Maximise benefits under the Landlord and Tenant Act and Housing Act through informed advice
