Having just negotiated a saving of 30.28% off the landlords quoting premium to extend an approx 44 year lease by a further 90 years on the Howard de Walden Estate; the total premium saved for my clients since setting up my eponymous firm 18 years ago next month now stands at £86.12m.
Despite transactions becoming more onerous to transact and settle whilst the market remains subdued as the changes in SDLT are slowly absorbed and Brexit uncertainty remains in the forefront and as a result landlords solicitors with more time on their hands pick over every clause in the offer notice and draft lease | freehold transfer; with correct advice and a professional ‘can do’ attitude to every claim to find a way forward – continuing successes are being achieved for my clients as the above result well shows.
