You can ask us to extend your lease by adding 90 years to the time left on your existing lease. In some cases, you and the other leaseholders in your building may be able to buy the freehold of the building.
You can use this form to ask for more information about the options or to formally start a process.
You would normally get help from a solicitor to extend the lease or buy the freehold.
