You may be considering a straightforward remortgage for home improvements or to consolidate personal loans, or you may be looking into an equity release to help with your retirement planning. Regardless of what changes you are thinking or making, you will receive a personal service and clear advice.

During the transfer of ownership, we will keep you informed of progress through a method of your choice. With offices across the region, we are close by if you need to meet face to face to discuss an urgent issue or resolve an unforeseen problem.

Services for Leaseholders

At Fraser Dawbarns LLP we can help you if you are looking to extend your residential lease, or if you are looking to purchase the freehold with other tenants.

Leasehold Extension

This is a specialist area of law and there are potential dangers which we will help you avoid. We will guide you through the set procedures, timescales to be followed and deadlines to be met. We will explain the statutory rights which, usually, allow you to extend your lease by 90 years, and which is added to the remaining term. A premium is payable and we can advise you where to go to find a leasehold surveyor who can calculate the likely amount.

Leasehold Enfranchisement

If you are looking to purchase the freehold with other tenants we can, again, advise you in relation to the statutory procedures and in relation to the participation agreements which tenants often enter into before going ahead. You will again need a leasehold surveyor to help establish the best premium to offer. We can then deal with the notices and transfer. We will also deal with the registration for you and advise on setting up a company or declaration of trust if they are needed. If you are looking to extend your lease or acquire the freehold, contact us today to find out more about how we can help you. 

Tenancy Agreements

At Fraser Dawbarns, we help tenants by advising on leases and tenancies before moving into a rented home. We understand the need to inform you at all the stages involved in the renting process. Our residential conveyancing team will keep you informed of the progress through a method of your choice; this could by post or email.

Our specialist team has a wealth of experience advising tenants on the contents of leases and tenancy agreements including deposit schemes. If you are moving into a rented property and need help and advice with a tenancy agreement, contact us today to see how our expert team can help.

When quoting for our service, we will also detail any fees that will need to be paid to other agencies. These include stamp duty land tax (SDLT), Land Registry fees, VAT and search fees.
