We handle every stage of your lease extension with precision and expertise, driving the process forward and securing the best possible outcome for you.
We arrange an independent valuation to work out a fair price for extending your lease, so you don’t pay more than necessary. We then formally contact your landlord to start the process and fix the key dates, making sure your position is protected from the very beginning.
We handle all discussions with your landlord to agree the final cost of your lease extension, working to secure a fair outcome and protect your financial interests every step of the way.
We prepare and check all the paperwork for your new extended lease to make sure everything is correct and there are no hidden or unfair terms. If you have a mortgage, we also deal directly with your lender to obtain any approval needed to complete the process smoothly.
Once everything is signed, we take care of the final steps and register your extended lease with the Land Registry. This makes your new lease official and ensures your ownership is properly recorded and protected.
Track your lease extension from start to finish with real-time updates and 24/7 access to your case.

Lease extension solicitors specialise in the legal process of extending a residential lease. They protect your interests by advising on eligibility, calculating key dates, serving the correct statutory notices, negotiating terms, and ensuring the new lease is legally valid and properly registered. Using experienced lease extension solicitors like DezrezLegal reduces the risk of costly mistakes and delays.
It is advisable to contact lease extension solicitors once your lease falls below 85–90 years. As the term approaches 80 years, the cost of extending can increase significantly due to “marriage value.” Early legal advice helps you understand your options and avoid paying more than necessary.
The statutory lease extension process typically takes between 3 and 12 months, depending on whether terms are agreed quickly or require negotiation. Lease extension solicitors manage the legal notices, deadlines, and negotiations to keep the process on track and ensure compliance with the Leasehold Reform legislation.
Fees for lease extension solicitors vary depending on the complexity of the matter, whether it is a statutory or informal extension, and whether negotiations are required. In addition to your own legal fees, you may also be responsible for the freeholder’s reasonable legal and valuation costs under statutory procedures.
Yes. Experienced lease extension solicitors like DezrezLegal can handle negotiations with difficult freeholders and can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) if terms cannot be agreed. If the freeholder is absent, solicitors can assist with a vesting order application through the court to allow the lease extension to proceed.
