Now in its seventh edition, Hague on Leasehold Enfranchisement remains the definitive source on the law and procedures to follow for enfranchisements involving houses, collective enfranchisement of flats and the individual right to a new lease.
Hague’s practical approach guides the reader through the process of acquiring the freehold from qualifying premises, tenancies and persons to terms of acquisition and valuation. The book aims to clarify common problems and offer clear insight into the practical application of the law
The authors expertly guide the reader through all the major legislation including the Leasehold Reform Act of 1967, Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 and subsequent legislation in full.
