As a lease term reduces, it can begin to impact both the value of a property and its appeal to lenders, so extending helps maintain marketability and ensure the property remains suitable for mortgage lending in the future.

Lease extensions can be agreed either informally with the freeholder or through a formal statutory process, depending on the circumstances. Each route involves different steps, timescales and costs, and the right approach will often depend on the specific details of the lease.

The process can be technical and time-sensitive, particularly where valuations and legal notices are involved, so early advice can help avoid complications later on.

Our Residential Property team advises leaseholders across Coventry and Warwickshire through every stage of the process, helping ensure matters are handled correctly and efficiently.

Civil partnerships give couples legal recognition of their relationship, with rights and responsibilities that are broadly similar to marriage.

They can provide important protections around property, finances, inheritance, and pensions, and decision-making in the event of illness or death, as well as responsibilities including financial support for your partner and, where relevant, any children.

Our Family Law team advises clients across Coventry, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and the wider Warwickshire area on entering into or dissolving a civil partnership, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations and feel supported at every stage.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 is now in force, and these are not minor updates. From day one SSP and extended eligibility, through to doubled redundancy penalties and stronger whistleblowing protections, the impact on employers is significant.

There is also a new enforcement landscape, with the Fair Work Agency now active and bringing increased scrutiny to how policies operate in practice.

For many businesses, this means reviewing systems, updating policies, and ensuring compliance is not just documented but embedded.

We have pulled together a clear summary of what has changed, what it means in practice, and what employers should be doing now.
