How much does it cost to buy my freehold?

It depends on your building: the leases, the ground rents, the value of the flats. We give you a free estimate for your block, so you can decide with a real number instead of guesswork.

What drives the price

Lease lengths. The shorter the leases, the more the freehold costs to buy.

Ground rents. Higher rents raise the price, and ground rents that increase over time raise it further.

Flat values. The more the flats in your building are worth, the more the freehold is worth.

The deal. Valuation is negotiated, and freeholders rarely open low.

One thing you should know

Government reform is changing how freehold valuations work. Figures that hold today may shift as the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act rolls out. We track the changes and keep you informed, so you're never working from stale numbers.

Control without the price tag

Most of what blocks want from buying the freehold (control of maintenance, costs, and decisions) is available now through Right to Manage: months not years, and nothing to buy. Get your estimate, compare both routes, and decide with the facts.

"We finally got transparency across all our costs. Everything suddenly became 50% cheaper."

Residents are the best people to run their own building. You know the block, you know what it needs, and when everyone is coordinated on one platform, the work is genuinely manageable.

Questions, answered

Collective Enfranchisement is the legal right for leaseholders to club together and buy the freehold of their building. Once you own the freehold, you can manage the block yourselves, grant lease extensions, stop paying ground rent, and change lease terms, for example lifting restrictions on pets or alterations.
