Re-Lease by EMW
A lease extension service that freeholders and leaseholders can rely on.
How we can help
We have more than 25 years of experience in Landlord and Tenant Law. Our expertise and dedication ensure you receive a smooth and professional lease extension process. To ensure transparency and affordability, we offer fixed fees, meaning you don’t have to worry about unexpected costs or hidden charges.
FOR LEASEHOLDERS – TENANTS
We carefully examine whether you qualify for a lease extension under the statutory framework, ensuring you can proceed with confidence.
We provide a clear explanation of your legal rights as a leaseholder, walk you through the step-by-step process of securing a lease extension, and outline the anticipated costs so there are no surprises.
Our experts draft and serve the crucial legal documentation (the statutory lease extension notice) on your behalf, and carefully review any responses from the landlord to ensure your best interests are protected.
We work closely with your appointed surveyor to calculate the appropriate premium for the lease extension. We then negotiate terms with the landlord’s representatives to achieve a fair and favourable outcome.
Our legal team will prepare and work with the landlord to finalize the terms of the new lease in compliance with all legal requirements. We ensure that the lease reflects all agreed changes while safeguarding your future property rights.
If an agreement on the premium or other terms cannot be reached, we offer expert representation during Tribunal proceedings. We are committed to fighting for the best possible outcome on your behalf.
Once the new lease is finalized, we handle the legal completion and ensure the lease’s registration with the Land Registry. This confirms your new lease terms and protects your ownership rights.
FOR FREEHOLDERS – LANDLORDS
When a tenant serves notice to extend their lease, we carefully review it to make sure it is valid under the relevant statute and contains all required information.
We guide you through the options available, including accepting or challenging the lease extension claim. We also work closely with you to develop a valuation strategy to ensure the premium reflects the property’s true value.
Our team will draft and serve an appropriate counter-notice, which outlines your response to the tenant’s claim and sets the tone for the negotiation process.
We advise you on whether to accept the tenant’s claim and help you define clear and fair terms regarding the extended lease. This ensures your property and financial interests are protected.
We collaborate with your appointed surveyor to review the tenant’s proposed premium and negotiate an amount that meets your expectations.
If negotiations break down, we represent you rigorously in Tribunal proceedings to ensure you secure a fair premium and terms that align with your interests.
We ensure that the lease terms are drafted with precision and in accordance with all legal requirements. Our team ensures the terms protect both your ownership and financial interests.
Once all terms have been agreed and transactions finalized, we manage the legal completion process. This includes ensuring the lease is appropriately recorded and updated with the Land Registry, protecting your legal position over the property.
