Extending a lease in Tooting?
Blakes acted on the lease extension at Coverton Road, Tooting, SW17. We advise leaseholders and freeholders across Tooting, SW17 on statutory claims under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 — valuing the premium, serving or responding to notices, and negotiating settlement with the surveyor on the other side.
If you have received a Section 42 notice, or you are a leaseholder considering a claim, we will tell you what the premium is likely to be before you commit. Try our lease extension calculator for an indicative figure, or contact us for a fee quotation.
Following received statutory lease extension service notice we were instructed by the leaseholder’s solicitors to prepare valuation advise and how to deal with the council notice. Enter negotiations with lessee’s surveyor and agreed amicable settlement, mitigating the need to refer the matter to the First-tier Tribunal (formally known as the leasehold valuation tribunal).
We act for both landlords and tenants advising on the various valuation aspects of leasehold enfranchisement. More specifically, landlord and tenant rights pursuant to The Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 (tenant’s pre-emption rights; landlord’s sale of the freehold to the tenant flat owners pursuant to service of formal notices); The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 as amended by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 (individual lease extensions of flats, collective enfranchisement of the freehold of a building and right to manage claims) and all ancillary matters arising from this area of law.
For assistance with extending the lease on your property or purchasing the freehold, please call us on 020 7373 7373 for a free consultation. We will value and negotiate the premium payable to the freeholder and can also provide details of solicitors with whom we have worked with over the years specialising in this area of law.
