This covers buying the landlord’s freehold reversion when you already own a leasehold interest, a process often called enfranchisement or acquiring the freehold. A solicitor handles the technical steps, including assessing eligibility, serving and responding to notices under the Leasehold Reform legislation, negotiating with the freeholder, and arranging the transfer and registration of the new freehold title. The aim is to secure a lasting property interest and confirm the new ownership structure.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific decision to acquire the freehold is irreversible if completed, with long‑term implications for service charges and future increases. A solicitor provides professional oversight, ensures regulatory compliance, and manages the engagement with freeholders, valuers, and the Land Registry to finalise the transfer.
