Hi, I am considering to increase the lease of my flat and after much contacting organizations involved, I think the process is actually quite complicated.

1) Please can someone share with simple terms and works - how the process is like ?
2) Anyone can recommend a solicitor who can do everything from the beginning to end for my perusal ?
3) Also, what should I do, look out for, avoid, etc ?

Any advices at all will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes,this is a good time to act.It is most important that you use a specialist service,rather than your usual solicitor.I am in the process of buying the leases on 3 flats in the same block.Unfortunately some others started the process off,and did not involve the rest of us for over a year.The solicitor they registered with is a local firm,and the man in question is their "lease expert".It is now well into the third year,with no progress at all being made.I have heard good reports of The Leasehold Advice Centre (Google it) from another landlord.
