Leasehold Practitioners
This does not set out to be a comprehensive, approved or recommended list. Other practitioners not on the list may also be able to assist you. Those applying for inclusion on the list pay a fee; confirm their areas of competence in residential leasehold when applying; and agree to the terms and conditions. Inclusion in the list does not constitute a recommendation by the Leasehold Advisory Service.
Please note: The companies below are filed in alphabetical order. The position in the list is no indication of the quality of service. Also, some companies provide a national service and do not just operate locally to their head office.
When appointing a professional adviser it is most important that he or she should be both familiar with the legislation and have relevant experience in the field. It is suggested that you talk to several practices before you appoint an adviser.
The following checklist of questions might be useful:
- How familiar is the practice with leasehold legislation?
- How many instructions have they dealt with that require knowledge of leasehold legislation and good practice?
- Can they refer you to a satisfied client?
- What is the fee structure for the work?
- Any competent practice should be able to respond satisfactorily. If not, or if they are reluctant to provide references or be firm on likely fees - go elsewhere.
Please select the type of external advisor and the region that you require:
