Buying your freehold


Flat owners are entitled to collectively purchase their own freehold; this is called enfranchisement. Buying your own freehold eliminates the need for a lease extension. For those flat owners with less than 85 years remaining on their lease this is very important, however, there are a number of other advantages to consider:

Buying your freehold not only increases the value of your flat but means you can exercise real control over your property. After enfranchising, for instance, the choice of how best to insure, manage and maintain your property rests in your own hands. A freehold purchase could also in some cases allow flat owners to enjoy new rights over roof spaces, half landings or external areas and eliminates landlord disputes.
