Significant events
- “Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022 and Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, which has a direct impact on all fees but in particular to NAV fees during the year.”
- “The Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022 was enacted during 2022 and prohibits the inclusion of a ground rent exceeding a peppercorn on new long residential leases.”
- “On 24 May 2024, the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 received Royal Assent. The aspect of this Act most likely to have a significant financial effect on the sole client Time, and therefore the company, should the secondary legislation that is required to give legal effect to the provisions of the Act be made, relates to changes that reduce the premium payable to freeholders when leaseholders exercise their statutory rights to enfranchisement or lease extension.”
- “In October 2025, the High Court issued its judgment dismissing the judicial review brought by industry participants challenging aspects of the Government's leasehold reform measures contained in the 2024 Act. This judgment is subject to an appeal to the Court of Appeal that is expected to be heard in the latter half of 2026.”
- “Separately, the Government has published a draft bill, which includes, among other matters, provisions to cap the level of ground rent that can be charged on existing leases at £250 for a period of 40 years with no rent chargeable thereafter.”
