Lease Extensions and Freehold Enfranchisement
We have expertise dealing in lease enfranchisement and freehold purchases for groups of tenants. We aim to provide a cost effective service and keep you informed of the procedure involved and how your matter is progressing on a regular and timely basis.
We act for both Landlords and Tenants on a regular basis.
- We have a proven track record in acting for individual lessees and for associations/companies in these matters.
- Our clients range from the owners of houses on the large Central London estates to the resident's associations of blocks containing a few flats to those with hundreds of flats.
- As well as guiding you through the complex legislation we can offer practical and organisational advice.
- We will attend an initial meeting of the committee of a resident's association free of charge and then provide a detailed breakdown of likely costs.
- We have good links with other relevant professionals, in particular specialist surveyors/valuers, counsel and managing agents.
- We will advise and prepare for an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide on any issue that cannot be agreed between the parties.
- We will also advise on when it would be appropriate to issue proceedings in the County Court in order to secure your rights under the legislation.
- We are on the solicitors list of the Leasehold Advisory Committee. You may wish to look at their website which has a considerable amount of useful information.
You should be aware that this is a very complex area of law where it is essential to have specialist advice. To exercise any of the rights it is necessary to fulfil
certain qualifying criteria. The legal structure of buildings, especially in Central London, can be intricate.
