Are you thinking of extending your lease or buying a share of the freehold of your leasehold property?
Perhaps you are a freeholder granting a lease extension to your leaseholder?
Or would you like to exercise the Right to Manage (RTM), a 'no fault' opportunity to challenge the management and maintenance of the common or shared part of a building or development.
Leaseholders who want to extend or vary their leases or question management charges or other issues will often need assistance from experts in this area of property law, as may freeholders dealing with such matters from a different perspective.
Julie West Solicitors is a member of ALEP (Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners) and has the expertise to assist.
Formed in 2007 and now with 249+ member organisations, ALEP is a not-for-profit association that brings together barristers, managing agents, project managers, solicitors and surveyors working in the residential leasehold sector.
ALEP promotes best practice by vetting organisations and individual practitioners to ensure they have significant expertise in leasehold enfranchisement.
Membership of ALEP acts as a badge of assurance so that flat owners and freeholders can be confident that they are employing professionals with the right level of experience in handling potentially complex transactions.
