Check if you can extend your lease. Find out how to extend it formally or informally, how much it costs and about the terms of the extension.

How to apply formally (statutory)
The formal legal process states that you must serve us a formal notice outlining your claim and your terms.
This process has strict time limits.
We recommend you take professional advice when drafting this notice to avoid costly mistakes.
Your solicitors should serve notice to:
Southwark Council
c/o Sales and acquisitions
PO Box 76378
London SE1P 6HY
What happens next
Once we receive the notice we'll instruct:
- one of our surveyors to carry out a lease extension valuation
- our external solicitor to liaise with your solicitor
