Lease Extensions Solicitors Near Me
Under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, most flat leaseholders who have owned their property for at least two years have the right to extend their lease by 90 years and reduce ground rent to zero.
A lease extension can:
- Increase the market value of your flat
- Make your property easier to sell or remortgage
- Reduce ground rent and provide long-term security
The process involves a formal valuation, serving notices on the landlord, and negotiating lease terms. Because it involves both legal and valuation work, using a lease extension solicitor is highly recommended.
At Berlad Graham LLP, we can assist with:
- Drafting and serving lease extension notices
- Negotiating terms with the landlord
- Preparing Deeds of Covenant and Licences
- Finalising the lease extension agreement
For lease extension advice, call 0330 475 5655 or email info@bglaw.co.uk to speak to one of our solicitors in Uxbridge or Cumbria.

Right to Manage (RTM) Solicitors
The Right to Manage (RTM) allows qualifying leaseholders to take over the management of their building without buying the freehold. Introduced under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, it lets leaseholders form an RTM company to handle the day-to-day management of their block.
Through an RTM, you can:
-
Manage service charges and maintenance.
-
Oversee building repairs, insurance, and contractors.
-
Maintain communal areas and building structure.
-
Handle complaints from other leaseholders.
While the landlord retains ownership, the RTM company assumes management responsibilities. Eligibility rules and procedural requirements can be complex, so early right to manage legal advice is recommended.
Our RTM solicitors in Uxbridge and Cumbria can:
- Confirm eligibility
- Form and register your RTM company
- Draft and serve the required legal notices
- Ensure compliance with all statutory procedures
