Fixed Fee Lease Extension Solicitor for Camden Council Leaseholders

Why Camden leaseholders choose Peppercorn Law

⭐ Specialist in lease extensions

I deal with lease extensions every day, including many where the local authority is the landlord. Camden’s procedures are well-known to me and I guide you through each stage from serving the initial notice to completion. Client onboarding is completed remotely, saving you time and hassle.

🔍 Transparency from the outset

My fixed fee is £1495 plus VAT and includes step-by-step updates so there are no surprises. Most Camden leaseholders also appreciate having a solicitor who keeps legal costs down by avoiding unnecessary negotiation or valuation disputes wherever possible.

💬 Dedicated support

As a boutique practice, I only take on a limited number of matters at any time. You get direct contact, fast responses and solicitor-level support throughout.

Local knowledge of Camden’s estates and RTB flats

I regularly assist leaseholders from estates and neighbourhoods such as:

• Camden Town and Mornington Crescent

• Kentish Town (including the Holmes Road and Rhyl Street areas)

• Gospel Oak and Queen’s Crescent

• Chalk Farm and Adelaide Road

• Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage

• Bloomsbury and King’s Cross regeneration area

• Somers Town and Regent’s Park estates

These estates see high levels of remortgaging and sales. A lease extension is often essential to maintain value in the 70 to 89-year range.

💼 My fixed fee

I offer a clear fixed fee of £1495 plus VAT for statutory lease extensions. This keeps the process predictable, even when dealing with Camden Council’s homeownership and legal teams.

🔧 Statutory 90-year extension

A statutory extension adds 90 years on top of your existing term and reduces ground rent to a peppercorn. This is the route most Camden leaseholders take, especially where the lease is approaching 80 years.

Why extend a Camden lease before it reaches 80 years

⏳ Marriage value applies below 80 years

Once your lease dips under 80 years, marriage value is added to the premium. Camden Council follow statutory valuation rules strictly, so acting early saves money.

🏠 Higher resale value

Flats in Camden sell at a premium when the lease is extended. This is especially important in high-demand areas such as Belsize Park, Kentish Town and Camden Town.

🏦 Better mortgage availability

Many lenders become cautious once the lease falls below the mid-80s. A new lease protects your ability to remortgage or sell quickly.
