What’s included in the packaged service
Provided by Blakes - Chartered Surveyors
Expert Valuation Report
A detailed RICS-regulated Statutory Lease Extension Valuation Report including calculations, prepared by experienced surveyors. This report not only supports your initial offer but also serves as the foundation for negotiations, ensuring you enter discussions with a strong, evidence-based position.
Negotiation
Direct premium negotiations with the freeholder (or their surveyor) where required, aimed at securing you the fairest possible outcome. We handle all back-and-forth discussions on your behalf, protecting you from overpaying and giving you peace of mind that you’re not leaving money on the table.
Provided by Arcadia Law - Solicitors
S42 - Initial Offer Notice
Drafting and serving the formal Section 42 Notice on the freeholder. This legal notice is what officially starts your statutory lease extension claim and sets the terms of your offer in motion.
New Lease
Full legal review of the freeholder’s proposed lease, ensuring the new terms are correct, compliant with the law, and in your best interests. We then handle the legal completion of the lease extension to see the process through to the end.
Disbursements
All standard legal disbursements (such as Land Registry fees, Companies House checks, and postage) are covered within the package. You won’t face unexpected extras – what you see is what you pay.
S45 - The Counter Offer Notice
Reviewing the freeholder’s formal Counter Notice and advising you on the next steps. This automatically includes communicating the details to Blakes Chartered Surveyors so they can provide expert recommendations on negotiation strategy – meaning you don’t need to coordinate between surveyor and solicitor yourself. Where required, Arcadia Law will also respond directly on your behalf, ensuring your rights are fully protected and the process stays on track.
HMLR - Registration
Final registration of your new lease with HM Land Registry, making it official and ensuring your extended lease is correctly recorded for future sales, remortgages, or legal matters.
What’s not included in the fixed fee package
The Lease Extension Premium
The lease extension premium itself is not included within our fixed professional fees. This is the value that we will establish as part of the valuation and negotiation process. Use our free lease extension calculator for a guide figure or contact us without obligation for an estimated global cost of your lease extension case.
Tribunal Representation
Attendance and representation at the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) is not included. 99% plus of the cases we handle do not result in Tribunal hearings as we have an excellent track record in ensuring fair, reasonable and timely settlements. On occasion a Tribunal application may become necessary to protect your lease extension claim and this as well as representation at a hearing, in the event it is required, can be provided on a fixed fee basis.
Dealing with Defective Titles or Missing Freeholders
If your lease has title defects, or your freeholder is absent (requiring a vesting order), this falls outside the scope of the fixed package. Contact us for a tailored fixed fee quote in these circumstances.
Lease under 80 years
This service above is only available for leaseholders with unexpired terms of over 80 years. Leases under 80 years often involve more complex valuation and negotiation work (including marriage value), which require tailored pricing but don’t worry, we still offer fixed fees for shorter leases too – please enquire with us for a custom quote.
Freeholder’s Costs
You will remain responsible for reasonable freeholder costs, including:
* Their legal fees
* Their valuation fees
These are not covered in your fixed fee package.
Urgent Turnaround Requests
If you need a report or notice served urgently (e.g., within 5 working days), an expedited fee will apply. Please enquire with us for further details.
