Lease Extension
Bishop & Sewell managed the lease extension process for my flat. The process itself was lengthy however the service provided was clear and helpful throughout and I'm glad that I engaged Bishop & Sewell in this matter. I would use them again and recommend to others.

Fantastic service - new lease and licence to alter for loft conversion
I can highly recommend Bishop & Sewell and Clare Groom. Clare was exceptional throughout. Clear, regular communication, with everything fully explained; very proactive and responsive; clear advice and information.

HUGELY IMPRESSED! 5 STAR+
BISHOP & SEWELL was recommended to me by my neighbour who dealt with the company before. I can't thank him enough for this introduction AND the company for the service provided. I used this company to extend my lease while dealing with a difficult freeholder, and am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
FIRST CLASS SERVICE!

Clare Groom and Bishop & Sewell
Clare Groom has overseen the purchase of the freehold of our property on behalf of the five flat owners. She assisted us through the whole process with excellent communication with all parties. She completed every aspect of the freehold purchase including setting up the company required and made the whole process easy and trouble free. Her professional knowledge was impeccable and we all had complete confidence in her. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Bishop & Sewell as a professional, proactive and really helpful organisation. Clare has seen us through lease extensions and freehold purchase in a highly efficient manner.

Professional, knowledgable, great communication
During the Section 42 lease extension process, Clare played a vital role in providing significant assistance and preventing the flat purchase from collapsing. Bishop & Sewell were contacted late in the process when tight completion deadlines. Despite this, they immediately stepped in and resolved the issues which the conveyancers were unable to deal with. Thanks to their prompt intervention and expertise, the lease has been successfully extended, and the ground rent removed.

Excellent service, I would highly recommend
I was rather daunted by the thought of the process of extending the lease on my flat, as I don't understand anything about this. Clare and her team made it very straightforward, answering any questions I had quickly and in simple terminology. She kept me updated at every stage, and dealt with the process efficiently and effectively. I appreciated being able to be in direct contact with Clare at any point. My thanks go to her, Daisy and the wider team at Bishop and Sewell for helping me through the process. I would highly recommend them and would certainly use them again.

HeadLease With Ease
Clare Groom has made a somewhat complicated lease purchase across a number of people and properties a very easy process, explaining things in non-legal jargon.
