The costs of Collective Enfranchisement can be significant but are frequently not much more than the individual costs of Lease Extensions for each of the flats.
As there are very often savings to be made from acting in bulk, the total professional fees including the freeholders’ and your own, are likely to be lower per flat.
In order to set a budget, Richard John Clarke provide free no-obligation quotations of our valuation/negotiation costs for our potential clients.
Our fees are set on a fixed price basis, so our clients know from the outset what our charges are going to be to complete the Collective Enfranchisement.
We can also seek quotes from one of our recommended Collective Enfranchisement Solicitors to deal with the legal aspects of the claim.
Where it is possible, we will also provide a “ballpark estimated” figure for the Collective Enfranchisement Costs payable to the freeholder.
