Award Winning Experts
Our Services
Purchase Your Freehold
Our team helps all the leaseholders participating to coordinate efforts and ensure everyone is informed and engaged throughout the process of leasehold enfranchisement. We’re your project manager, legal guide, and negotiation expert all rolled into one, managing communications, overseeing valuations, and liaising with solicitors and surveyors on your behalf from start to finish.
As specialists in the legal requirements for buying the freehold of your flat as opposed to the freehold of leasehold houses, we tailor our approach to freehold purchase specifically for flat leaseholders. From assessing the fair purchase price to handling all necessary documentation, we provide a seamless service designed to make freehold acquisition straightforward.
Right To Manage
The Freehold Collective offers a comprehensive Right to Manage (RTM) service, empowering leaseholders to take control of their building’s management without needing the landlord’s consent.
Under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, qualifying leaseholders in England and Wales can form an RTM company to manage communal areas, appoint professional managing agents, or even self-manage to reduce costs. The Freehold Collective provides end-to-end support, guiding leaseholders through the legal processes and helping them exercise their statutory rights effectively. We’ll make the RTM process simple, so it’s less stressful and there are fewer headaches for you and other leaseholders.
Lease Extensions
Our lease extension service helps leaseholders extend their leases by guiding them through both statutory and informal processes. We provide expert advice on securing a 90-year lease extension at a peppercorn ground rent via the statutory route, or exploring more flexible but riskier informal options.
Our service simplifies the complex legal and valuation aspects, ensuring leaseholders understand their rights and options. Additionally, we advise on acquiring a share of the freehold for long-term control, offering perpetual 999-year leases and eliminating ground rent.
Commonhold Services
Our Commonhold Association Service is designed to help leaseholders take full ownership of their building, offering complete control over both their individual flats and the communal areas through a unified legal structure.
This service is ideal for those looking to move away from leasehold and transition to a more secure, transparent, and democratic model of ownership. With commonhold, residents benefit from perpetual ownership and collective decision-making, creating a fairer and more sustainable way to manage their property together.

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.
