The enfranchisement team is headed by Graham Jaffe one of the leading practitioners in the field with over 25 years experience alone in the field.  Graham’s team includes Katie Cohen, Janet Douglas and Jemma Passard. The team acts for the following clients:

• flat owners wishing to buy the freehold of their building
• flat owners wishing to extend their leases
• flat owners wishing to acquire the Right to Manage (RTM)
• freeholders wishing to sell their freeholds
• freeholders served with lease extension or freehold purchase notices

We have experience acting for freeholders, intermediate leaseholders and lessees enabling us to be perfectly placed to understand the competing interests of the parties involved in any enfranchisement transaction.

In this changing economic market, enfranchisement is becoming popular as lessees seek to protect their investments and freeholders wish to maximise their profit but it is a complex and ever changing area of law.  Our experienced team will provide you with clear, concise and economic advice to enable you to make informed decisions. 

Graham and Katie are full members of ALEP (Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners) and LEASE (Leasehold Advisory Service).  They regularly contribute articles to News on the Block, Flat Living Magazine and LexisNexis Property Law Forum.
