Enfranchisement of houses

We’ll look at your lease and the details of the property in order to find out if you are eligible to purchase your freehold.

Our solicitors at Orwins will outline the various options and help you come to an understanding of the steps required before you decide to proceed.

The amount you pay will vary according to things such as the terms of the property and the lease. We can suggest experienced valuers and explain the possible costs.

These costs can include your legal and valuation fees, along with any costs you might be required to pay by the landlord.

At Orwins, we work on negotiating an informal purchase with your landlord, and help you with a statutory enfranchisement claim.

Our solicitors will explain the advantages and factors to take into account for each option, making sure that you understand the relevant requirements before making a decision.

We will assist you with all the steps involved in the legal process, starting from serving the required notices through to negotiating the terms.

Our team also regularly provides advice regarding restrictive covenants and other provisions in the lease, so that you know which of your obligations will survive your acquisition of the freehold.
