When dealing with enfranchisement or lease extension, its really important that both the lawyer and surveyor you choose is a genuine specialist. Why? Because lease enfranchisement is a complicated area of law involving strict procedure and tight deadlines. Most property solicitors have little if any experience of enfranchisement, which is why you need to find genuine specialists.

WHY GETTING YOUR FREEHOLD PURCHASE RIGHT IS SO IMPORTANT

When it comes to enfranchisement, it really important to make sure you stick to the procedure and in particular don’t miss any of the deadlines. Because doing so means your application fails and you have to start again from scratch.

Not only does that mean you will have picked up extensive and wasted legal fees in the process, but with your lease being shorter, especially if the value of your property has increased in the meantime, increase it’s likely that by the time your new application is filed the premium you will need to pay will be more expensive.
