Eligibility Check – Lease Extension / Enfranchisement
For flats and apartments, this check covers both a lease extension on your own flat and collective enfranchisement (buying the freehold together with other leaseholders). Answer a few quick questions to confirm your rights under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The 2-year ownership requirement has been removed. Further reforms under the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 are pending commencement.

Property Details
These inputs drive the premium calculation. The more accurate your figures, the tighter the estimate range.
Long lease equivalent value
Enter the value of the flat in its unimproved state. Under the 1993 Act, improvements you or a previous owner paid for yourselves are disregarded when the premium is worked out. To identify them, a surveyor compares the lease plan with the flat as it is today. We can put you in touch with a specialist surveyor who can do this and provide a floor plan.
