Leasehold Enfranchisement
Acquiring the freehold of a property, or extending a lease, requires a highly specialised assessment of the property’s value, which is where our network of experienced valuers comes in. We have long experience of guiding both landlords and tenants through the process of leasehold enfranchisement, by which leaseholders can buy the freehold of a property or extend their lease under the terms of the Leasehold Reform Act.
