Housing & leasehold enfranchisement

We have specialist expertise in social landlord work and leasehold enfranchisement.

Our team advises housing associations and other social landlords on a wide range of housing and development issues. Specialists from our Property Disputes and Landlord & Tenant team, our Planning, Environmental & Compulsory Purchase team and our Commercial Property team, combine to provide a comprehensive service for social landlords and local authorities on housing law issues, as well as on disputes arising from asset management and development. 

We advise on:

  • possession, forfeiture and debt recovery actions
  • disputes relating to restrictive covenants, easements, boundaries and trespass
  • disputes relating to conditional contracts, option agreements and s106 agreements
  • planning and enforcement notice appeals and related actions in the High Court
  • CPO compensation claims
  • disputes with statutory undertakers. 

We also have widely recognised expertise in residential lease extensions, collective enfranchisement work and the right to manage procedure. We undertake high profile work in Central London and across the South East. We work closely with our Residential Conveyancing team and with our Corporate & Commercial team. We also have good external links with specialist leasehold enfranchisement valuers both in London and regionally.
