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? |
This is Lease Extension Pro’s practical comparison checklist, not an endorsement or ranking of any firm. See the cost guide for budget components.

No. Lease Extension Pro currently provides general selection guidance only. No firms are listed and no solicitor-client relationship is created. Consult LEASE for independent leasehold guidance and contact any chosen firm directly through verified channels.
