Why Purchase Your Freehold

Buying the freehold of a flat is a legal right that is beneficial for a number of reasons. Some of things freehold property owners can do include:

  • Benefit from 999 (perpetual) year lease extensions at no additional cost
  • Remove all obligations to pay ground rent
  • Make annual service charges more affordable and efficient
  • Appoint your own management company and service providers, who report to you
  • Grant yourself permissions and removing unhelpful restrictions
  • Grant yourself building rights on the freehold land
  • Oversee the building’s maintenance, insurance and servicing to a standard which better suits you
  • Prioritise how your money is spent
  • Take control and improve the value of your home and investment

Purchasing your freehold gives you the freedom and control you deserve

WHAT WE DO

Our Services

Our core service is to assist you in the successful and stress-free purchase of your freehold. To do this, we break our service down into three stages:

Inception is the most important phase in our service. As part of the inception, we engage, communicate with and recruit flat owners on your behalf. We will also organise leaseholders and incorporate your company. We will then proceed to analyse the value of your freehold, and lay down the critical groundwork for a successful Freehold Acquisition.

In this phase we provide our expertise to diligently prepare and turn acquisition from tumultuous to smooth sailing. We use a tried and tested approach to oversee and assist with negotiations, work undertaken by solicitors and surveyors, and offer structured advice that ensures you are successful in acquiring your freehold for a fair market price or far less.

Once you take ownership of your share of the freehold and 999 modernised leases, we provide expert consultation to structure your freehold company in a way that maximises the potential of your freehold ownership. We suggest improvements designed to ensure you reap the benefits of the flats and investments you have made long into the future.

Is it worth buying the freehold of a flat?

Though the process is complex, it is more than worthwhile buying the freehold of a flat because freehold flat owners gain access to plentiful benefits. Those who own the freehold can do things like extend their lease at no extra cost, take control of the building, including managing service charges to get value for money and quality providers, and add considerable value to their homes.

 

What is a purchase of the freehold?: If you purchase the freehold, you own the freehold of the building in which you live, alongside other flat owners. A limited company is formed that is owned and controlled by the group of flat owners that joined in, giving each participant a long lease under the new entity that owns the freehold, which is controlled by you and your neighbours that joined in the purchase.
