Enfranchisement & Lease Extension - A User’s Guide Live at Your Desk

Introduction

Acting for flat owners ‘extending’ a flat lease or making a claim for collective enfranchisement, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, can be fraught with complexity and potential pitfalls for the unwary.

This live broadcast session will guide you through the statutory requirements whilst avoiding the ‘bear traps’ that await the unwary landlord or tenant.

This session, aimed primarily at lawyers, is designed for those new or returning to the field of leasehold enfranchisement & extension and will provide delegates with the opportunity to ask questions.
