Extending your lease can help preserve the long-term value of your property and make it easier to sell or remortgage. As a lease gets shorter, both the property’s marketability and its value can decrease and lenders may refuse to provide mortgages.

Our conveyancing team guides you through the process of negotiating with your landlord, serving the correct notices and ensuring your new lease terms are fair and legally robust. We’ll also advise you on the costs involved, including potential premiums and legal fees, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Equity release allows homeowners, usually later in life, to unlock the value tied up in their property without having to sell or move. While it can provide a valuable source of income or capital, it’s essential to understand the long-term implications, including interest roll-up and the impact on inheritance.

Our solicitors provide clear, independent advice on the terms of equity release products, ensuring you fully understand your obligations before committing. We’ll review the lender’s requirements, explain the legal documents and protect your interests throughout the process.

Whether you’re switching lenders to secure a better interest rate, consolidating borrowing, or raising funds for home improvements, remortgaging requires careful legal handling.

Our conveyancing team will check the new mortgage terms, liaise with your lender, carry out all necessary searches, and register the new charge at the Land Registry. We ensure the process is completed quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption and helping you take advantage of your new mortgage offer without unnecessary delay.

Purchasing a property at auction can be an exciting opportunity, but it comes with tight deadlines and additional risks. Once the hammer falls, you are legally bound to complete — usually within 28 days — so it is vital to have legal advice before you bid.

Our team can review the auction pack, highlight any issues with title, searches, or lease terms, and provide clear guidance on the risks and costs involved. After a successful bid, we manage the post-auction process efficiently, ensuring completion takes place within the required timeframe.
