Leasehold Enfranchisement

We advise both landlords and tenants in this highly specialised area of law, acting on lease extensions, collective freehold acquisitions, individual freehold claims, and right to manage matters.

Our clients include landed estates, charities, trusts, investment companies, developers, and private individuals, each with their own set of goals and challenges.

Alongside statutory claims, we bring particular expertise in structuring ownership and development arrangements to both avoid and promote enfranchisement rights. This strategic perspective, paired with our deep knowledge of the legislation and the complex legal and valuation issues it presents, means we are well placed to secure the best possible outcomes. Working hand in hand with leading enfranchisement valuers, we help clients navigate this technical area with clarity and confidence.

While our focus is always on resolving matters without the need for tribunal or court proceedings, we are also highly experienced in contentious enfranchisement cases. Members of our team have acted in numerous high-profile disputes and appeals, giving us the insight and track record to protect our clients’ interests at every stage.

We are an active member of ALEP (Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners). Formed in 2007 and now with 249+ member organisations, ALEP is a not-for-profit association that brings together barristers, managing agents, project managers, solicitors and surveyors working in the residential leasehold sector.
