Whether you are a Lessee (Leaseholder) or Landlord (Freeholder), extending a residential lease can be time-consuming and stressful.

We’ve streamlined and simplified the process with complete transparency to save you time, costs, and hassle.

For Lessees

We understand how important your leasehold flat is—whether it’s your home or an investment. If your lease was originally granted for more than 21 years, you likely have the right to extend it under the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. But the process can feel complex and overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. Should you wait for law changes? What are your rights? How much will it cost? Will you need a solicitor or a valuer? We’ve helped hundreds of leaseholders navigate this journey with clarity, confidence, and minimal stress. Our streamlined service gives you the tools and support to take control of your lease’s future.

For Landlords

We’ve brought lease extensions into the modern age—simplifying the process and reducing the burden on landlords. Our service is designed to streamline communication, standardise paperwork, and ensure all valuations and notices are handled professionally. Whether you carry out valuations in-house or outsource them, we can integrate seamlessly. Our RICS-registered valuers are available where required, and third-party valuers are welcome to use our platform with their clients. As all fees are paid directly by applicants, there’s no cost to you. And with upcoming reforms under the Leasehold & Freehold Act 2024, we’re ready to adapt—so you don’t have to.

What does it cost?

The cost for extending your lease depends upon the value of the property and how long is remaining on the lease. The impact on value increases as the lease gets shorter.

However, the value of your property usually goes down more significantly if the lease has less than 80 years left and the cost to extend your lease goes up significantly.

If your lease has 80 or more years unexpired, you will have to compensate the landlord for:

• the loss of the ground rent remaining on your current lease.

• the loss of the potential right to receive back the property at the end of the current lease.

• the loss in any development or other value that is reduced due to the extension of the lease.

If your lease has less than 80 years unexpired, you will, in addition, need to pay the landlord a share (usually 50%) of the value that would be added to your property by extending the lease

For leases of 80 years or more, the median cost is typically £4,000-6,000 (although it can be more for higher-value properties). This depends on the value and condition of your property and the length of the lease remaining.

There will also be legal and valuation fees to pay, and this varies depending on your Landlord. Lease extensions are usually exempt from Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).

Mortgagees are often willing to allow borrowers to add these costs to their mortgage since, invariably, it improves the value of the property.

What to do next

All qualifying leaseholders have the legal right to extend their lease under the formal process set out in the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. In many cases, landlords may also offer an informal route, which can be quicker, cheaper, and more flexible.

You’re not committed to extend just by starting the process but it’s worth remembering that the cost of a lease extension usually increases over time as your lease gets shorter and property values rise.

Before proceeding, it is advisable to make sure you can access or raise the necessary funds to pay the landlord’s premium, valuation and legal costs (e.g. from savings or remortgaging). Many lenders will make a further advance for these costs, sometimes without valuation, as the longer lease improves their security.

The extension premium and costs are usually paid on completion but some landlords offering an informal (voluntary) route require their valuation and admin fees to be paid before processing your application. These are typically non-refundable, so only proceed if you’re financially ready.

Once terms are agreed, you will need a solicitor to check through the new lease and register it with HM Land Registry. If you have a mortgage, your solicitor will also need to act for your lender. We offer fixed price conveyancing by
