Statutory lease extension
Statutory lease extension is a legal process through which a leaseholder can increase the number of years remaining on their lease. For a house, this will be under Part 1 of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, or for a flat, under Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The nature of the statutory lease extension is also likely to be impacted by the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022.
A voluntary (or ‘non-statutory’) lease extension on the other hand is a process which is followed to increase the number of years remaining on a lease, without needing to follow the exact steps as set out in the law, these too are impacted by the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022.
