How can our Lease Extension Solicitors help?

At Mounteney Solicitors, we have extensive experience in handling lease extensions for leasehold properties and registering them with the HM Land Registry.

Our Lease Extension Solicitors will actively engage with landlords, tenants, lenders, and any other relevant parties to facilitate an agreement on all terms related to the lease extension.

We will meticulously draft and finalise the necessary deeds, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements. It’s important to note that during this process, we do not engage in negotiations of the terms, assuming that these have been agreed upon prior to our involvement.

Once the deeds are prepared, we will handle the registration process with HM Land Registry, ensuring a seamless and efficient completion of this crucial step.

To provide our services efficiently, we will require specific information, including:

• Whether the title is registered.
• If there is a mortgage on the property.
• The level of cooperation among involved parties

If you require assistance from one of our expert Lease Extension Lawyers, please contact us today and we will commence work on your lease extension.

Can I Extend a Lease if there is a Mortgage on the Property?

It is possible to extend the lease on a property even if there is an existing mortgage. However, this process requires additional steps and coordination to ensure that both the lease extension and the mortgage are handled correctly.

When extending a lease on a property with a mortgage, the main challenge is that the existing mortgage is tied to the current lease term and title. Extending the lease effectively creates a new lease agreement, which requires the mortgage to be transferred to the new title.

If you need to register a lease extension on a property with a mortgage, our team of Lease Extension Solicitors can assist you. We will ensure that your lease extension and mortgage editing are transferred properly and that everything is legally compliant.

The entire process of registering a lease extension can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. This duration is due to the multi-stage process involving several third parties, which can impact the timeline. While the actual legal work may only require a few hours, the overall process can extend over several months due to these dependencies.

The timing of HM Land Registry’s processing of the registration can vary. While some applications are processed quickly, most may take up to six months or longer. Once submitted, HM Land Registry processes applications in the order received to maintain the priority of your application.
