If you own a leasehold property, purchasing the freehold or extending the lease can be a vital way to maintain or increase its value. Because the land is owned separately by a landlord, it can be hard to sell a leasehold property or raise a mortgage for it.

Leasehold enfranchisement can raise the value of your property and offer you more security. Whether you are a landlord or an individual tenant or part of a group, we can advise you of your rights.
