In Series 2, Episode 1 of the #TVLawyer Podcast, Melinda Giles speaks to fellow Giles Wilson Partner and Private Client specialist Caroline Woodham about the changes to Inheritance Tax law after the Autumn Budget 2024 was announced in November.
With a strong working experience of this niche legal area, Giles Wilson can help you and other leaseholders purchase the freehold of your residential building, in certain circumstances.
Collective Enfranchisement is the legal right of long leaseholders to act together to purchase the freehold of their building, provided that certain criteria are met. The collective group of leaseholders would then acquire the freehold of their building and would collectively become the Landlord under their respective leases.
The process requires an in-depth knowledge of the statutory provisions governing the rights of long leaseholders. It is essential that you seek professional advice as soon as possible before starting the claim, so that the process is followed correctly. This will often involve a surveyor to advise on matters of the premium and potential settlement options.
With experience acting for a range of commercial property leaseholders and freeholders, our dedicated Collective Enfranchisement solicitors can help you prepare your claim.
