It is a right, subject to qualification, for the owners of flats in a building, and sometimes part of a building, to join together and buy the freehold of that building. The relevant act is the Leasehold Reform Housing & Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended). Provided at least 50% of the flats in the building (who are qualifying tenants) participate, and the building qualifies, then the landlord cannot refuse. Call us today to find out if you qualify.
