Leasehold Enfranchisement and Collective Enfranchisement

Navigating the complexities of leasehold enfranchisement and collective enfranchisement can be daunting. The process involves complex legal procedures that must be followed accurately, and the correct notice needs to be served to the landlord. That is why seeking professional legal advice from the outset is essential.

As a legal procedure, leasehold enfranchisement involves buying the freehold of your property, or collective enfranchisement is a legal process whereby the flat owners in a block join together to buy the freehold of the building. To proceed with enfranchisement or collective enfranchisement, you must meet specific eligibility criteria and negotiate a cost with the freeholder to buy the freehold or share. To initiate collective enfranchisement, qualifying tenants must own at least two-thirds of the flats in the building, and more than 50% of those tenants must participate in the process.
