Legal Updates

Right to Manage – is a breach of the statutory framework fatal?

The right to manage is simple in concept but unfortunately complex in its application as there are a lot of procedural hurdles that participating flat owners can fall at and this can lead to litigation as of course their landlord needs to be sure whether management will validly vest.  Consequently there are a huge number of cases taken by landlords challenging the validity of claims which some might find surprising.

Leasehold and Commonhold Reform

In this second article in our series of three we look at what it means for residential leaseholders and their landlords following the Government’s confirmation that it will enact the remaining Law Commission recommendations around enfranchisement rights (leaseholders rights to extend their lease or acquire the freehold to their house or block of flats).

The Law Commission’s recommendations are set out in its report “Leasehold Home Ownership: Buying Your Freehold or Extending Your Lease”. The stated intention of the recommendations was to “help make our homes our own rather than someone else’s asset. They are intended to make the law work better for leaseholders”. Their report was described as a root and branch review of enfranchisement rights.

Understanding the Renters (Reform) Bill: An Overview of Likely Changes

Following its Third Reading in the House of Lords on 21 July 2025, only minor drafting amendments were made to the Renters (Reform) Bill (‘the Bill’), signalling the Lords’ broad approval of its substance.

If the Bill is given Royal Assent in its current form — with no last-minute policy reversals when it returns to the Commons on 8 September 2025 — it will mark the most significant overhaul of tenancy law since the Housing Act 1988.

This article outlines the key reforms envisaged by the Bill to help landlords, tenants, and investors prepare for the changes ahead.
