Leasehold Enfranchisement (LE) is a process in the UK housing sector that allows leaseholders to purchase the freehold or extend the lease of their property. The purpose of LE is to give leaseholders more control over the future of their property, by providing them with an alternative to the traditional lease renewal process. The scope of LE covers both freehold and leasehold properties, and involves the negotiation of a new lease or the purchase of a freehold title. The process involves the leaseholder or the lessee and the freeholder or the landlord, and is governed by the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The process includes the appointment of a valuer to assess the value of the property, as well as the negotiation of terms to ensure a fair and equitable outcome for both parties. LE is an important part of the UK housing sector, and can provide leaseholders with greater security and stability in their homes.
