Freehold Purchase

Can I buy the freehold of my property?

This depends on whether your property is a flat or a house. If your property is a flat, you cannot purchase the freehold individually, but as a group of leaseholders you may have the right to participate in a collective enfranchisement under the relevant legislation. If your property is a house, you may have an individual right to acquire the freehold. In either case, your landlord holds the freehold as a long-term investment and is not obliged to offer a sale unless the statutory process has been initiated and a valuation undertaken. We recommend you take independent legal advice.
