What Is a Freehold Enfranchisement Valuation?
A freehold enfranchisement valuation is a professional assessment of the price you would need to pay to acquire the freehold of your leasehold property. Often referred to as a buying freehold valuation, it ensures that both leaseholders and freeholders have an impartial basis for negotiation.
A RICS freehold enfranchisement valuation, prepared by an independent surveyor, reflects the market value of the freehold interest and complies with legal requirements under leasehold enfranchisement legislation.
Why a Freehold Enfranchisement Valuation Is Required
When leaseholders wish to buy the freehold, an accurate enfranchisement valuation is essential. It provides a defensible valuation that can be used to negotiate the premium with the freeholder and, if necessary, submitted to a tribunal for dispute resolution.
Our experienced surveyors provide impartial, RICS-compliant valuations that are accepted by freeholders, solicitors, and tribunals, helping you navigate the enfranchisement process efficiently.
