About Homehold Lease Extension Solicitors & Surveyors
Written by the company
Homehold has one goal: make it easier and cheaper for leaseholders like you to extend their leases.
We are specialist fixed-fee lease extension service which incorporates both the services provided by our in-house team of lease extension surveyors and our very own firm of lease extension solicitors, LLS.
We will manage your lease extension claim from start to finish, ensuring that you are properly looked after throughout a process which can often be long and complicated to navigate. Our commitment to excellent customer service shines through in our reviews.
We have a specialist lease extension valuation team and our surveyors come from a wide range of backgrounds from being employed by Savills and leading London agents to working in Real Estate analysis. This broad base of expertise allows us to challenge your freeholder on all elements of the lease extension valuation, and not just your property value. We will work hard to negotiate a fair price for your lease extension. While it is avoidable in nearly all cases, we have experience attending First Tier Tribunal in the capacity of Expert Witness if needed.
Homehold owns a law firm, LLS, that specialises in lease extensions. LLS is fully authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and is led by Leah Veasey, who is a solicitor who has completed over 1000 lease extensions.
We only offer statutory lease extensions – which will extend your lease by 90 years, remove your ground rent and ensure that your freeholder is not able to add new, onerous clauses into your lease.
Homehold is a proud member of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP) and a member of the Property Ombudsman redress scheme.
If you wish to instruct us for your lease extension you can book a consultation with our director, Linz Darlington

Homehold took all the stress out of…
Homehold took all the stress out of dealing with a lease extension by handling the whole process from start to finish. We were updated with progress as it happened and the cost for the service is very reasonable.
What could be improved is the time it takes to complete the process.

I came to Homehold as it was…
I came to Homehold as it was recommended by Martin Lewis. My first contact was in 2022 with Linz Darlington who scheduled an introduction call where we went through what the process would entail and how long it would take. They explained the different stages and what to expect. The work started a few months later as they didn't want to take on more cases than they could handle at the time. The fee is paid in three parts depending on which stage you're at.
My lease extension premium ended up being less than I know my neighbours had paid previously so I'm very happy about that.
I got regular updates throughout my process, even when there was no news, I got an email telling me there was no news :)
I have recommended Homehold to colleagues and friends, they made a awkward process as straightforward as is possible under the current leasehold legislation. I 100% recommend them.
Having one company coordinate everything with surveyors, lawyers etc is so much easier than trying to do it yourself.

First Class Service
First class service from start to finish. I was kept well informed throughout the process with regular emails. Homehold & LLS were always available to answer any questions when needed.

Organised and supportive service
I did some research prior to selecting Homehold & LLS. They lived up to the reviews I read and what they promised. Regular, reliable communication. Always available for questions by email or phone. Always promptly responded to my queries professionally and knowledgeably. Involved me entirely in the negotiation of what was an agreeable lease fee and explained how fees were arrived at. They encouraged my input to securing what I consider a very fair fee.

Simple, Effective, Excellent Communication
The team here made this a very simple process, communicating very well all the way through and explaining things clearly. The service we received was above our expectations especially given previous experiences of always having to chase conveyancing solicitors. Absolutely not the case here. Thank to the team for making this so easy.

An absolutely brilliant company
An absolutely brilliant company. A rare service that realises, under promising while over delivering, is what makes customers happy.
Kept us informed, even when the news was "Nothing new to report this week."
Simplified everything, and got our lease extension at a lower cost, and in less time than expected. Thank you.

A superb organisation
A superb organisation. Leasehold will be abolished soon thankfully in my view, but when you are in it like 5 million of us, it's imperative you have a firm on your side, who will fight tooth and nail for you. This organisation does this through every aspect. Linz, their valuers and their solicitors are so supportive and quelle any anxieties. They keep you informed, updated and fight your corner. A brilliant solicitors.

Thank you very much to all of the team at LLS and Homehold for all of your help and assistance with my lease extension.

Five Star Service
We had a local authority lease approaching 80 years so wanted the peace of mind of a long lease to avoid potential issues in the future. Homehold came well recommended in reviews and their website was most informative about the process and planned changes to leasehold law.
Homehold and LLS gave very clear information throughout the process and they kept us up to date with how things were progressing. It was never going to be 'cheap' but with their help we got a fair deal. Very happy to recommend them to others.

My Lease Extension
Homehold and LLS Team I discovered when I was reading an article by Martin Lewis who said that they only deal in Lease Extension's, that was exactly what I wanted. I must say I wasn't disappointed. Right from the start great communication, very helpful and professional. I felt very comfortable with them. They made the whole experience less stressful. Special thanks to the whole team and especially Jemma who I felt held my hand all the way through it.
I would not think twice about recommending them to family, friends and neighbours. Well done, regards Freda Watson.

Highly recommend
Homehold and LLS worked incredibly hard to get me the best possible deal during my lease extension with a very difficult and unreasonable landlord. From the very beginning, Dale and his team explained what to expect and what would happen at each stage of the process. They kept me up to date throughout and worked incredibly hard to get the best possible result. Even when there were no updates, they made sure to stay in touch and tell me possible timelines and what could happen. When it was time to make decisions, they made is very easy to understand the implications of different decisions and the options available to me. They really were a pleasure to work with and took a lot of stress out of the process.
I would highly recommend Homehold and would like to stay a special thanks to Dale for working so hard and being so professional throughout the process.

Trust the specialists
I found it extremely helpful to have a one-stop shop for the whole process. Once I was 'in' I could let Homehold and then Leasehold Legal Services do their jobs. I'm sure I would have felt considerably more strain had I been obliged to engage a solicitor and a surveyor separately myself. Also, and very importantly for me, I didn't have to undertake the tricky negotiations with the freeholder. Best of all, my solicitor at Leasehold Legal Services used their knowledge to save me a considerable sum on my leasehold extension, while getting me exactly what I needed. I therefore think I 'won back' about half the fee I paid for the whole process. The main reason I chose to use Homehold is that they are specialists and because I just didn't want to deal with my freeholder any more than necessary. Once the initial process of providing documentation was over (which I'd have had to do in any case), I really could almost sit back and let it happen. There were regular updates from my named contacts at Homehold and at Leasehold Legal Services, and they made sure everything went smoothly and far better to my advantage than I could have managed on my own. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to take the stress out of a leasehold extension. Thanks very much!
