We have been helping groups of flat owners to acquire their freehold, individual leaseholders to extend their leases and take over the management of heir building for many years before the main legislation was introduced in 1993. We are particularly keen to help tenants before the length of their leases drop below 80 years when the whole process becomes far more expensive and far more profitable for a landlord.
