Introduction
Most flat owners have a collective right to buy the freehold of the building in which their flats are situate. This is a valuable right, giving the flat owners much greater control over the building but, the exercise of this valuable right can be full of pitfalls for the unwary.
And, according to a recent government survey many flat owners surveyed ‘did not understand that under share of freehold they would remain on a lease for their own flat’.
This intermediate level webinar explores a number of the trickier problem areas drawing practical lessons from recent case law to aid the busy practitioner advising flat owners.
