If you own a leasehold flat, or you're thinking of buying one, this news matters.
Major freeholders have been granted permission to appeal key parts of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.
The three things being challenged:
→ Removal of 'marriage value' when your lease drops below 80 years
→ Caps on ground rents in lease extension calculations
→ Freeholders' right to charge you their legal fees
This could delay reforms by 12–18 months or more. If your lease is near 82 years, don't wait.
