Leasehold and Collective Enfranchisement

We have particular expertise in this area of law and are members of ALEP (Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners).  We have links with surveyors across the country to ensure that you receive the best possible advice from the outset.  It is important to instruct a suitably qualified solicitor if you require/wish to grant a lease extension or if you wish to collectively buy your freehold with your neighbours or if your leaseholders have exercised this right against you as there could be detrimental and adverse costs consequences if the process is not used correctly.

We will:-

• advise you on the statutory procedure from the start to completion
• instruct and liaise with a suitably qualified surveyor with your objectives and  best interests in mind
• Negotiate or prepare and draft the lease or leasebacks
• Ensure that all statutory time limits are adhered to and used to your advantage
• Prepare Participation Agreements to ensure that your rights in relation to other leaseholders are protected
• Prepare all transfer documentation upon the sale of freehold interests
• Make applications to and appear at the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal should a dispute arise
• Apply for vesting orders where the landlord is an absentee or is missing
