Our professionals assist leaseholders in acquiring freehold interests, whether for individual houses or collective blocks. We provide valuation advice, statutory compliance guidance, and negotiation support under the Leasehold Reform Act. Our services include detailed reports on participant levels, premium calculations, and strategic recommendations to maximise client benefits during the enfranchisement process.
Property Valuations
We deliver independent market valuations for residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties in accordance with RICS Red Book standards.
