Expert Support with Council Lease Extensions – Wandsworth, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets and Beyond
If your flat is leasehold and your freeholder is a London Borough council, you might already know the lease extension process can feel a bit overwhelming.
But here’s the good news: at Julian Wilkins Chartered Surveyors, we’ve built a strong track record of helping leaseholders successfully navigate lease extensions with local authorities – particularly when the freeholder is Wandsworth, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets or other London Borough Council.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve been consistently involved in either valuing properties and negotiating lease extensions against these boroughs. We know how each council tends to approach the process – and that insight can really make a difference.
Why Use Us?
As a specialist firm with a friendly and professional approach, we understand that extending your lease is a significant decision. We aim to make the process as straightforward and efficient as possible for our clients.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
- Prompt inspections – Where diaries allow, we aim to visit the property within 24 hours of instruction.
- Fast turnaround – If we inspect in the morning, we will usually provide your valuation report the next day.
- Efficient negotiation support – Once the council has served the counter notice and we are further instructed, we aim to begin negotiations within 24 hours.
- In-depth local authority experience – We have a strong track record with lease extensions involving Wandsworth, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets and other London boroughs.
Our team takes pride in offering a responsive and personal service, and we’re always happy to talk through your specific situation and the best way forward.
