The law we work to

Leasehold law can change

The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 brings big changes to lease extensions and freehold purchases. But some parts are not in force yet. They still need more laws and steps to bring them in. We value each case under the law that applies on the date of the valuation. Please get independent legal advice before you go ahead.

  • Leasehold Reform Act 1967
  • Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993
  • Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002
  • Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022
  • Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024

FAQ

Leasehold valuation questions

What is a lease extension valuation?

It estimates the premium you may pay your freeholder to extend your lease. We look at the home’s market value, the years left on the lease and the ground rent.

What is freehold enfranchisement?

It means buying the freehold of your home. Flat owners can join together to buy the freehold of their building. This is called collective enfranchisement. We value what it may cost.

Which law do you use?

The law that applies on the date of the valuation. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 brings changes, but some parts are not in force yet. Please get independent legal advice before you go ahead.

Do you cover my area?

We inspect homes across Greater London and Essex.

How much does a leasehold valuation cost?

We price each inspection for the home. Answer a few quick questions and we will send your quote the same day.

Is a valuation the same as a survey?

No. A valuation is not a building survey. It gives the home’s market value. It does not report on the building’s condition.
