Specialists in Lease Extensions and Enfranchisement

Navigating the world of lease extensions and collective enfranchisement can feel like being lost in a maze of complex terminology. We provide clear, understandable guidance on premium parameters to ensure you feel confident throughout the process.

• Lease Extensions: We aim for premiums at or very close to our valuations, avoiding the "nasty surprises" of unexpected costs.
• Collective Enfranchisement: We handle complex, large-scale projects for groups of leaseholders with precision.
• House Enfranchisement: Expert advice for homeowners looking to secure their freehold.

Beyond the Standard Valuation

While we cover all forms of residential and commercial property, we have developed deep expertise in niche areas that others might overlook. Whether you are a private homeowner or a professional advisor, we bring a holistic perspective to every instruction.

• Roof and Air Spaces: We are well-versed in valuing common parts and structures where leaseholders seek to extend beyond their demised areas.
• Charity Act 2011 Reports: We provide compliant reporting for clients with large residential investment portfolios.
• Expert Witness: Michael frequently acts in high-profile cases, providing invaluable testimony based on decades of industry knowledge.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We don't believe in the "fallacy of claimed savings" or percentage-based fees. Our fee structure is designed to be fair and transparent from the outset:

1. Fixed Valuation Fees: Agreed upfront so you know exactly where you stand.
2. Time-Based Negotiation: Fees are based on the actual work involved, not an arbitrary percentage.
3. RICS Standards: As a Regulated Valuer, we subscribe to the RICS ‘Red Book’ standards and are externally audited for your peace of mind.

"We provide a niche valuation service combining broad-ranging expertise with a down-to-earth ability to solve problems for our clients and their advisors."
