That frustration led to Zero Down Lease. We founded the company with a simple goal: making the process of extending your lease simple, straightforward, and affordable. No more confusing jargon. No more being left in the dark about what's happening with your case. No more paying thousands without knowing exactly what you're getting.
We were lucky enough to be joined by an incredible team of experts who shared our vision and were just as committed to helping leaseholders like you. Unlike the traditional approach where you might work with three different firms—a surveyor for the valuation, a solicitor for the legal work, and someone else for the financing—we handle everything under one roof.
And here's what makes us different: we focus on one thing and one thing only. While other law firms juggle dozens of different practice areas, we wake up every morning thinking about lease extensions. We do more of them than 99% of other law firms because that's all we do. When you specialize this deeply, you get really, really good at solving even the most complex problems.
