Leasehold Properties Solicitors in Brighton
Many Brighton and Hove residents live in leasehold properties, particularly flats. A leasehold means you own the property for a set term, but the land belongs to the freeholder. Understanding your rights and obligations is vital.
Our leasehold services in Brighton and Hove include:
1. Lease Extensions:
Advising on your right to extend your lease (especially important if it falls below 80 years) and representing you in negotiations with the freeholder, whether informally or through the formal statutory process.
2. Valuation Expertise:
Working with specialist valuers to ensure fair terms for lease extensions or enfranchisement.
3. Enfranchisement:
Assisting leaseholders who wish to buy the freehold of their property collectively or purchase the freehold outright (where qualifying criteria are met).
Letting a lease fall too short can significantly impact your property's value and salability in Brighton and Hove, so expert advice from our solicitors in Brighton and solicitors in Hove is crucial.
