We’ll guide you through your options and help you make an informed decision that protects your long-term interests.
There are two main routes to extending a lease:
(Under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993)
If terms are disputed, either party can apply to the First Tier Tribunal—but both sides bear their own legal costs, which can range from £5,000 to £10,000+ VAT.
How we can help?
- Advise you on the best route for your lease extension
- Handle all legal documentation and negotiations
- Represent you in tribunal proceedings if needed
- Work with landlords, leaseholders, and managing agents
- Provide joined-up advice if your lease extension is part of a wider property transaction

Porter Dodson Yeovil - Bryony and Rosie have been absolutely brilliant in helping my partner and me purchase our first home. They were always quick to respond, kept us informed throughout the process, and took the time to answer any questions we had. Buying a first home can be quite daunting, but their professionalism, knowledge, and support made the whole experience much smoother and less stressful. We are incredibly grateful for all their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Reena Ravel was recommended to me and I was delighted to follow up the recommendation. Reena, and her paralegal Beckie, kept me informed throughout. Documentation and the necessary checks were made in advance so that once an offer was accepted all was prepared. I asked for a prompt exchange/completion on selling a property and this was duly achieved with minimal involvement on my part.

I had a fantastic experience working with Jenny & Emma in Wellington during the purchase of my first property. From start to finish, they were incredibly supportive, professional, and always on hand to guide me through the process. As a first-time buyer, I expected things to feel quite overwhelming at times, but their clear communication and reassurance made the whole process feel seamless. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone going through a property purchase.
