Residential conveyancing naturally forms a large part of our work and due to the nature of property in the capital, we are able to act on your behalf in all aspects of your property. We act for both landlords and tenants in the creation and management of tenancy agreements, dispute resolution and litigation as well as personal estate and equity based legal services.
From a commercial standpoint our expertise covers both corporate and business property portfolio management, commercial property conveyancing as well as litigation and contract disputes between landlords and commercial entities.
The property investment landscape has been facing increasing challenges in recent years, and the proposed Renters (Reform) Bill — currently progressing through Parliament — could represent a significant turning point for private landlords.
As we have discussed in our previous articles, it was announced in the King’s Speech that the Government’s legislative programme would include draft legislation on leasehold and commonhold reform: the “Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill.”
This implied that the Government might leave the previous Conservative Government’s legislation, The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, on the shelf and perhaps implement a wider set of reforms consolidating the existing law following the recommendations made by the Law Commission.
In this, the first of a series of three articles, we look at what it means for residential leaseholders and their landlords with regard to enfranchisement rights (leaseholders rights to extend their lease or acquire the freehold of their house or block) now that the Government has stated that it will implement the provisions of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.
The King’s Speech of 17th July 2024 announced that the Government’s legislative programme would include draft legislation on leasehold and commonhold reform: the “Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill.”
This implied that the Government might have in mind leaving the conservative’s legislation, The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, on the shelf and perhaps implement a wider set of reforms and consolidate the existing law following the recommendations made by the Law Commission.
