Who We Are

The Team

The Lease Extension company comprises a team of experts who hold a wealth of over 30 years combined experience in enfranchisement and property law, corporate business management, and client services. Together we offer an unrivalled end-to-end service working with our panel of leading specialist law and chartered surveyor firms.

Quality

At the LEC we work hard to provide the highest quality service to our clients throughout their lease extension, combining our specialist expertise with our leading specialist surveyors and solicitors.

We believe in quality over quantity. Each of our specialist law and chartered surveyor firms has been hand-picked by us, using careful set criteria to ensure that they are not simply the leading experts in their field, but they consistently provide outstanding work for our clients.

Client Service

We love what we do. Our client service team are the heart of our business. We are here to help you with any question you have, however large or small – before you start your lease extension or at any point throughout the lease extension, or enfranchisement process.

Results

Extending a lease is a practical necessity and we are here to make sure it is one that you spend as little of your time and money doing. By working with the leading specialist solicitors and surveyors we will strive to ensure that your lease extension provides you with a good ROI for your property. We will also endeavour to ensure that your lease extension is undertaken as quickly as possible.

Our goal is that our clients’ experience is one of ease and reassurance from the moment they speak to us to the day their lease completes.

The Lease Extension Company was founded by Tabitha in 2017. Ironically after 20 plus years of working for blue-chip corporate companies working at the LEC in some part reminds Tabitha of one of her teenage Saturday jobs working at a denim jean shop;

“I’ll never forget that Saturday job because of the pure joy of a customer when from all of the different brands, and hundreds of different styles you helped them find their perfect pair of jeans. At the LEC we obviously don’t sell jeans but we do offer our clients a service we are very proud of; helping to navigate what can be an overwhelming, costly and somewhat confusing task of extending a lease. It is incredibly rewarding when a client’s lease completes faster than they anticipated and for a good price. It is also equally rewarding when on a difficult lease our team have been able to navigate and find ways over the bumps in the road that have occurred and the client is really thankful.“
