Leasehold Enfranchisement: A Practical Guide is the essential handbook for practitioners, valuers and advisers working in one of the most technical and rapidly changing areas of property law.

Written by a team of leading specialists, the authors set the subject in its historical context and addresses the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, including its human rights dimensions, before giving a clear, step-by-step treatment of both statutory regimes. Part I covers the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, from qualifying premises, tenancies and persons through to notices, acquisition terms, valuation and completion. Part II examines the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, with full coverage of collective enfranchisement and individual new lease claims, including initial notices, counter-notices, landlords’ rights and duties, terms of acquisition, valuation, withdrawal and completion. Part III offers practical guidance on procedure and costs, covering missing landlords, court and First-tier Tribunal proceedings, and appeals to the Upper Tribunal.

With a dedicated chapter on common problem areas and expert insight throughout, this is an indispensable companion for anyone acting for landlords or tenants in enfranchisement claims.
