Can you recommend a good with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally nearby in Brighton?
  • I have a lease of 61 years remaining on my flat in Brighton. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided.
