Range of services

We provide valuation advice in respect of residential lease extensions and collective enfranchisement claims (buying the freehold).  Our advice is limited to these services - it does not include, for example, valuation advice for mortgage purposes or any building surveying advice.  Other valuation services are provided by Gilmartin Ley, contact tel. 020 8882 0111.

We specifically do not offer any legal advice and you are recommended to consult a suitably qualified solicitor in this regard.

Our fee quote assumes that there have been no physical extensions to the property since the lease(s) was (were) granted.  If the property in question has been physically extended an additional fee will be payable - this varies depending on the nature of the extension.
