Purchasing the freehold, extending the lease, or collective enfranchisement (where tenants group together to buy the freehold) can be key to maintaining or even increasing the value of a leasehold property.
We have a specialist team who have a detailed understanding of all these types of claims. The team regularly act on behalf of freeholders, intermediate leaseholders, leaseholders and management companies.
Freehold purchase, lease extension and collective enfranchisement claims are governed by complex legislation and whilst we can act on behalf of clients from start to finish with statutory claims, we strive to deal with claims on a without prejudice voluntary basis (where appropriate) in order to keep costs down and to complete the transaction as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
If you would like to talk to one of our property litigation solicitors about freehold purchase, lease extension and collective enfranchisement claims, please complete our enquiry form and we will be in touch.
