What does a lease extension solicitor do?
A solicitor checks the legal position and manages the formal documentation. A specialist valuer assesses the premium. Lease Extension Pro is neither of these professionals; the calculator cannot replace their work.
- Review the lease, title, eligibility and applicable legal route.
- Advise on notices, service requirements and legal deadlines.
- Explain proposed lease changes and liaise with the valuer.
- Handle completion and any necessary registration.
Process context: Leasehold Advisory Service. Check a solicitor’s regulatory details using the SRA Solicitors Register.
What should you ask before instructing a firm?
| Ask about | A useful question |
|---|---|
| Relevant experience | Who will handle my flat extension, and what similar work do they undertake? |
| Fee scope | What is fixed-fee, what is hourly and what could cost extra? |
| Disbursements and VAT | Does the written quote separate tax, searches, registration and other charges? |
| Professional coordination | How will you work with my valuer, lender and the landlord’s solicitor? |
| Timing and communication | Who tracks deadlines and how will I receive updates? |

Preview only: this form demonstrates the proposed experience. Nothing is sent or saved, and no solicitor will contact you. Please use fictional details and do not enter confidential legal information.
Can this site recommend or instruct a solicitor?
No. Lease Extension Pro currently provides general selection guidance only. The directory is empty, the enquiry form is a demo and no solicitor-client relationship is created. Consult LEASE for independent leasehold guidance and contact any chosen firm directly through verified channels.
