- 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

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.
