Statutory vs. voluntary lease extensions
There are two main routes to extend a lease: through a voluntary agreement or under the statutory lease extension process. Both come with their own advantages, timelines, and negotiation points. Our lease extension solicitors help landlords and tenants understand their rights and obligations – and reach fair outcomes.
Voluntary lease extensions
With a voluntary lease extension, both parties have the flexibility to agree on the key terms – including the premium, lease length, and other conditions. This route can often be quicker and more straightforward than the statutory process.
We regularly advise:
- Landlords negotiating with individual or multiple leaseholders
- Tenants initiating or responding to voluntary offers
Our role is to ensure negotiations are fair, legally sound, and completed efficiently.
Statutory lease extensions
The statutory lease extension process gives qualifying leaseholders the legal right to extend their lease by 90 years at a peppercorn rent. It involves formal notice procedures, set timelines, and often, detailed negotiations over the premium.
We act for:
- Tenants exercising their legal rights and seeking a fair valuation
- Landlords responding to notices, negotiating premiums, or attending Tribunal
Our goal is to protect your interests and keep the process progressing smoothly.
