Extend your lease

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.

Cost

You can use the Leasehold Advisory's lease extension calculator to get a rough estimate of how much the extension will cost.

You'll also pay:

  • your legal fees
  • the council's legal fees of £259.40 + VAT an hour plus disbursements (expenses)
  • a non-refundable administration or claim investigation fee of £362
  • valuation fee of £1,180

You'll be responsible for the council’s reasonable fees at each stage of the process, whether or not the extension completes. This includes all fees.
