Energy Performance Certificates

Before you sell a house or rent one out, you are required by law to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). An EPC measures the energy efficiency of your house and the level of carbon emissions.

Learn all the facts about EPC's, what they measure, how they're carried out and how the recommendations report that you get along with the certificate can save you money if you're moving into a new home.

Lease Extensions

A statutory lease extension will add 90 years to the remaining term of your lease in return for a one off payment to your landlord. The amount of the one off payment is dependant on a number of things, not least the number of years remaining on the lease. As leasehold properties are effectively wasting assets that reduce in value by the day, it is usually advantageous to extend lease sooner rather than later.

We can help you extend your lease by 90 years. Click here to use our free calculator to get a quick quote now.

We can also put in touch with a qualified solicitor who will ensure that your Will is legally binding and that your wishes will be followed.
