Leasehold Assist Limited

Navigating the Complexities of Leasehold Property

Leasehold law can be a minefield. Whether you are a flat owner looking to extend your lease, a group of neighbours seeking collective enfranchisement, or a homeowner wanting to buy your freehold, you need more than just a general surveyor. You need a specialist.

At Leasehold Assist, we don't do general building surveys or commercial valuations. We focus solely on residential leasehold property. This niche focus allows us to provide a level of depth and precision that generalist firms simply cannot match.

Led by Robert Kaye — 20 Years of Director-Level Experience

Our practice was founded in 2012 by Robert Kaye MSc MRICS. Before establishing Leasehold Assist, Robert served as a valuation director at a major national chartered surveying firm. As an RICS Registered Valuer with over two decades of experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge to every instruction.

When you hire us, you aren't passed off to a junior trainee. We provide a full director-level service to all our clients, from the initial property inspection through to the final settlement or tribunal hearing.
