There is a discrepancy between the length of my lease between the freeholder and the land registry l. I was advised to get in contact with both of them. I did and they are still contradicting each other. None the wiser! No help for my situation.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that you were left without a clear resolution. Where information held by the freeholder and Land Registry differs, it can be difficult for us to advise further without the discrepancy first being clarified by the parties responsible for those records. We appreciate how frustrating this must be when you have already contacted both and are still receiving conflicting information.

I was quickly given the information I requested. Unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do to improve my situation. This was not the fault of the LAS.

The man I spoke to seemed to be well informed, and despite me not getting the answers I wanted, (because of my tight lease stipulations), he did give me some advice on forthcoming legislation on extending, and advised me to wait a bit, before it comes into force.

Thank you for your feedback, Marilyn. We’re pleased you found the advice helpful, but we’re sorry your scheduled call did not take place as expected and that you had to contact us again.
Great service
I found the phone call with your advisory service more beneficial than my initial written request. I really appreciate this service that the government provides as the world of lessor and lessee is so complicated and a real minefield. I guess this is like citizens advice, but with an expertise in leasehold issues for flat owners. Thank you for your help with advice regarding going forward with a first tier tribunal.

Take advantage of this amazing service!
With just over 81 years left on my current lease, being able to actually speak to a human, at our prearranged appointment time, and to have a conversation whereby all of my questions were answered with such knowledge that it has helped me greatly to have confidence in my decision making and know how, and options, as to whether to extend my lease now, or to take a chance on new legislation currently being decided upon in the courts. Would absolutely recommend this service, to give you the ‘tools’ for your decision making!
