Part One of the new Housing and Urban Development Act will give 750,000 leaseholders the right to buy collectively the freehold of their blocks - a development which The Law Society has called "the most important change in property law since 1925". This book gives a detailed guide to the new law on leasehold enfranchisement and extension. It explains the practical implications of this new law for both landlords and tenants, and aims to provide the immediate answers that practitioners need to advise their clients. The full text of this part of the Act is set out in the book.
