Peppercorn Law

A Specialist Law Firm for Leasehold Property

Peppercorn Law is a niche law firm based near Brighton that is dedicated exclusively to leasehold law. We don’t handle Wills, family law, or conveyancing; we focus solely on helping leaseholders, freeholders, residents management companies, and property managers navigate the complexities of leasehold property. This specialisation allows us to stay right at the cutting edge of legal developments in this field and deliver precise, expert advice.

What We Help With

Our services cover every stage of leasehold ownership and management, including:

  • Service charge queries
  • Statutory lease extension claims
  • Collective enfranchisement of the freehold of apartment buildings
  • Recovery of service charge arrears
  • Breach of lease disputes including improper use as an AirBnB or noise nuisance issues
  • Day-to-day lease interpretation and compliance queries

We also advise on recent reforms and legal changes – such as the removal of the two-year qualification period for lease extensions – helping clients stay informed and ahead.

Technology That Works for You

We’re at the forefront of legal practice, onboarding our clients with the latest remote ID verification tools and completing transactions with DocuSign e-signatures, enabling faster turnaround times and saving our busy clients from unnecessary travel or in-person meetings.

Local Expertise, National Standards

Based in the Southeast, we’re proud to work with clients across Sussex, including Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne, and Hastings. While our reach is national, our roots are local, and that makes us especially well placed to assist flat owners and managing agents across the county.

If you're involved in leasehold property in Sussex and want a legal advisor who speaks your language and understands the sector inside out, Peppercorn Law is here to help.
