The Leasehold & Freehold Reform Act - The Impact on Enfranchisement

Introduction

Aspects of landlord and tenant laws changed significantly following introduction of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 on 24 May 2024. Whilst the Act has yet, for the most part, to formally commence, there is a substantial amount in the legislation which landlord and tenant litigators will need to adapt to.

The Act proposes limited but significant changes to enfranchisement, including valuation, qualifying criteria and dispute resolution. This session looks at the detail of the Act, and includes practical advice on advising clients, including the report on title for collective claims.
