Podcasts about leasehold

Simon examines the innovative strategy of freehold to leasehold title splitting, a method that allows investors to create equity from existing properties. Building on the previous discussion of creative finance, the episode outlines how to identify opportunities in the property market where freehold buildings have already been converted into self-contained units.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Freehold to Leasehold Title Splitting: This strategy involves purchasing a freehold property that has already been divided into individual self-contained units Investors can find suitable properties by searching platforms like Zoopla or Rightmove for larger properties (8 or more bedrooms) that have been split into individual units When evaluating potential investments, it's crucial to ensure that each unit is at least 30 square meters, has separate utility supplies (electric, gas, and water), and that the purchase price is less than 75% of the cumulative value of the individual units. Potential for Increased Value: By creating leases for the individual units, investors can significantly increase the property's value. For example, purchasing a property for £200,000 that can be valued at £300,000 after lease creation can result in £100,000 of equity. BEST MOMENTS "The freehold to leasehold strategy really is property magic, because you literally create equity from thin air." "It's very important that you find apartments or flats where they are fully self-contained and they do not have shared kitchens or shared bathrooms." "Most landlords who own these buildings never bothered to create the leases because they didn't need to." "This is an advanced strategy... I'm giving away this strategy on this live online training because I want to help you make more money."

Simon examines the concept of creative finance investing, emphasising strategies that allow investors to minimise their cash input while maximising returns. He covers historical methods of no money down investing, the importance of finding motivated sellers, and various creative strategies such as joint ventures, private loans, and the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy. Simon also introduces the innovative freehold to leasehold title split strategy, explaining how investors can create significant equity through legal processes.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Creative finance involves using minimal or no personal money in property deals, allowing investors to maximise the number of deals they can undertake and achieve high or infinite returns on investment. Investors can collaborate with others through joint ventures or private loans, where someone else provides the necessary funds for a deal, enabling the investor to acquire properties without using their own money. The BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy allows investors to buy properties below market value, add value through renovations, and then refinance to recover their initial investment, often resulting in a positive cash flow and equity. Successful property investing relies on identifying motivated sellers who are flexible on price and terms. Understanding their problems and offering win-win solutions can lead to favourable deals. BEST MOMENTS "Creative finance is where we use as little of your money as possible. And why is that a good thing to do? Well, it means that you can do as many deals as you want." "If you believe you can or can't, you're absolutely right. And one of the ways to build your belief is by learning what other people are doing." "You can take control of the property... and in the meantime, you rent the property from the owner. This is great for a seller who really doesn't want the property anymore." "When you buy a freehold property, if you create the leases on the individual properties within that block, the cumulative value is often more than you can actually buy the block for."

This conversation delves into the complexities of shared property rights, focusing on concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, and non-possessory interests. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding different types of co-ownership, such as tenancy in common and joint tenancy, and their implications for property rights. It also covers leasehold estates, emphasizing the distinction between various types of leases and the duties of landlords and tenants. Finally, the conversation explores non-possessory interests, including easements and covenants, and their role in property law.TakeawaysUnderstanding concurrent ownership is crucial for property law exams.Different types of co-ownership dictate rights and responsibilities.Tenancy in common allows independent action without permission from others.Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship, which has significant implications.Severance can occur through sale or partition, affecting ownership rights.Tenancy by the entirety offers protection for married couples.Leasehold estates separate ownership from possession for a limited time.The covenant of quiet enjoyment protects tenants from substantial interference.Landlords have a duty to maintain habitable conditions for tenants.Easements provide nonpossessory rights to use another's land.In a tenancy in common, there is no right of survivorship; a deceased co-tenant's interest passes to their heirs or devisees. In a joint tenancy, the right of survivorship means the surviving joint tenant(s) automatically inherit the deceased co-tenant's share.The four unities are unity of time (interests acquired simultaneously), unity of title (interests acquired through the same instrument), unity of interest (identical interests), and unity of possession (equal right to possess the whole property).Severance can occur through sale, partition, or sometimes mortgage. Severance breaks the unities for the transferred share and converts the co-ownership of that share into a tenancy in common.Tenancy by the entirety provides strong protection against unilateral alienation and individual creditor claims, as neither spouse can sell, encumber, or transfer the property alone, nor can individual creditors reach the property unless both spouses are liable.Partition in kind physically divides the property into separate parcels for each co-tenant. Partition by sale orders the property to be sold and the proceeds divided among the co-tenants.An estate for years is a leasehold estate that endures for a fixed, predetermined period. It terminates automatically upon the expiration of the term without the need for notice.Constructive eviction occurs when a landlord's wrongful acts or omissions substantially interfere with a tenant's use and enjoyment, making the premises uninhabitable or unsuitable for their intended purpose. The tenant may terminate the lease and seek damages if they provide notice and vacate within a reasonable time.The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords, primarily in residential leases, to provide and maintain premises fit for human habitation, meeting basic standards of safety, sanitation, and structural integrity.An affirmative easement grants the right to use or enter another's land for a specific purpose. A negative easement restricts the servient owner from certain uses of their land, such as blocking light, air, or support.Equitable servitudes are enforced in equity by injunction and require intent, touch and concern, and notice, but not privity of estate. Real covenants are enforceable at law through damages and require intent, privity of estate, touch and concern, and notice.shared property rights, concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, non-possessory interests, tenancy in common, joint tenancy, easements, covenants, property law

This lecture covers the essential aspects of real property law, focusing on concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, and non-possessory interests. It begins with an exploration of concurrent ownership types, including tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by the entirety, along with remedies like partition. The discussion then shifts to leasehold estates, detailing various forms and their implications for landlords and tenants. Finally, the lecture delves into non-possessory interests, including easements, covenants, and licenses, providing a comprehensive overview of property rights and responsibilities.This lecture provides an overview of various aspects of real property law, building on previous discussions of possessory estates. It first examines concurrent ownership, where multiple parties hold simultaneous interests in property, covering tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by the entirety, and discussing remedies like partition. The text then explores leasehold estates, including estates for years, periodic tenancies, and tenancies at will, outlining the rights and duties of landlords and tenants, such as the covenant of quiet enjoyment and the implied warranty of habitability. Finally, the lecture addresses nonpossessory interests, such as easements created through different methods, real covenants, equitable servitudes, and licenses, explaining their creation and enforceability.TakeawaysConcurrent ownership allows multiple parties to hold interests in the same property.Tenancy in Common is the default form of concurrent ownership.Joint Tenancy includes the right of survivorship, which can be severed.Tenancy by the Entirety is exclusive to married couples and offers protection against individual creditors.Partition is a remedy for co-owners to terminate co-ownership.Leasehold estates grant exclusive possessory rights for defined periods.An estate for years ends automatically upon expiration without notice.Periodic tenancies require proper notice for termination.Tenancies at will can be terminated by either party at any time.Easements are non-possessory rights to use another's land for specific purposes.Real Property Law, Concurrent Ownership, Leaseholds, Non-Possessory Interests, Tenancy in Common, Joint Tenancy, Tenancy by the Entirety, Leasehold Estates, Easements, Covenants

There will be no compensation for more than 46,000 people who lost thousands of pounds each when the funeral plan firm Safe Hands went bust 3 years ago. The regulator - the Financial Conduct Authority - was told this week it should consider compensating them after a report by Rachel Kent, the Complaints Commissioner, set out the FCA's failings over Safe Hands. In response, the FCA has said it does not accept it was at fault, that it did not regulate the funeral planning firm at the time, and no compensation would be paid. This month the Government has announced plans to scrap new leasehold flats, replacing it with a system called commonhold already used in Scotland where homeowners collectively own the building and the land. But how will the planned improvements to the rights of existing leaseholders work? There's changes to how 'side-hustlers' report their earnings to HMRC, but it's not a tax cut, how will that work?And there's extra money to help pensioners in Northern Ireland with their heating bills.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Eimear Devlin Researcher: Jo Krasner Editor: Sarah Rogers.(This programme was first broadcast at 12pm Saturday the 15th of March 2025)

#203Buying a leasehold property with less than 80 years left on the lease offers savvy investors the opportunity to add value and force the appreciation in a short timeframe.This allows you to potentially recycle your cash and turbo charge the growth of your portfolio.Short lease extensions are equally powerful whether you're trading for a quick profit or holding for cashflow.And if you can combine lease extensions with other value adding strategies such as BRR (Buy Refurbish, Refinance) and reconfiguring properties to add more bedrooms, then you can make some serious cash.Jason Patterson, is a seasoned property investor with over 23 years of experience in UK property.He built his portfolio from a standing start, from money saved from his job stacking shelves in Sainsbury's in Camden, North London.In total, Jason worked at Sainsbury's for 11 years, and as a side hustle, he almost accidentally focused on leasehold properties with short leases, a niche that would later earn him his nickname as the Short Lease King.During the episode, we discuss:o   Benefits of purchasing properties with short leaseso   Explanation of what constitutes a short leaseo   Impact on property value and mortgageabilityo   Sweet Spot for Short Leaseso   Discussion on ideal lease lengths for extendingo   Combining short lease strategy with mortgageabilityo   Steps to gather lease extension informationo   Importance of contacting freeholderso   Explanation of Section 42/Leasehold Reformo   Impact of potential leasehold reforms on buying strategieso   Handling Vendor Resistanceo   Challenges with uncooperative vendors  o   Augmenting Short Lease Strategy with Additional Strategieso   Combining this strategy with BRR and reconfigurationo  "Triple Threat" propertieso   Criteria and considerations for choosing propertieso   Common mistakes new investors makeo   Reasons why this strategy may suit expatso   Financial Considerations and Leasehold Reformso   The effect of Leasehold reformo   Impact of leasehold reforms on profitabilityI'd Like Help With Setting My GoalsLeave an honest review of Expat Property StoryJoin our Mailing List to join our WhatsApp  group AND access our 37 Question Due Diligence Checklist AND our 23 Step Guide to Buying Property at Auction AND our  NewsletterFollow Us on InstagramWhat's the one thing you're struggling with in UK propertyWhere to meet Expat Property Investors (For FREE):Hong Kong: Pacific Coffee, 2/F, Central Building, Central (1st Sat of month from 11:30 am)Dubai: Holiday Inn, Science Park (1st Weds of month from 7pm)Singapore: The Providore VivoCity (1st Sat of month  from 10:30 am)Keywordsproperty investment, wholesale property, retail property, problem properties, lease extension, Short Lease King, UK property, buy refurbish refinance, refurbish properties, refinancing, property portfolio, property expertise, HMOs, property value, mortgageability, leasehold properties, leasehold reform, capital growth, dilapidated properties, leaseholder, freeholder, section 42 notice, lease extension premium, property strategies, property education, property market, rental property, property investors, leasehold surveyor, UK housing market

Send us a textProperty Bulletin Summary by London Property2025 Market Outlook Rightmove forecasts a strong 2025 for the UK housing market, with expectations for both house prices and the number of homes sold to rise significantly. Despite a recent dip in November, market optimism is high, with Rightmove attributing the decline to seasonal trends and the effects of the autumn budget. A subsequent Bank of England base rate cut has revived buyer interest, with predictions for a 4% increase in asking prices driven by potential mortgage rate cuts.Iceberg Homes A unique trend in luxury residences, the 'iceberg home,' is gaining traction. These homes, largely built underground, offer expansive multi-level basements with amenities like pools and private galleries. Popular among the wealthy in areas like Kensington and Chelsea, these homes provide luxury and space but have sparked controversy due to construction disruptions and weakened foundations.Leasehold Reforms The government will publish long-awaited legislation to abolish England's leasehold property system in the second half of next year, affecting millions. The new legal framework aims to make commonhold the default tenure by 2029, addressing exploitation concerns and ensuring more secure property rights for leaseholders. The announcement has garnered mixed reactions, with some praising the reforms and others worried about the complexities of implementing new legislation.Landmark Court Ruling The UK Supreme Court's ruling in Kyrieva vs. Bejamov reinforces the immovables rule, which protects immovable property in England and Wales from foreign bankruptcy claims. The decision prevents a Russian bankruptcy trustee from claiming a property in Belgrave Square, highlighting the importance of national sovereignty and legal principles in cross-border insolvency cases.Stay informed on these and other key developments in the super prime property market by subscribing to our newsletter and following our updates on our website, YouTube channel, and major podcast platforms#RealEstate #UKHousing #PropertyMarket #LuxuryHomes #IcebergHome #UndergroundLiving #LeaseholdReform #PropertyLaw #LondonProperty #SuperPrimeRealEstatePROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.

Two men locked in court battles for years over houses they purchased in Auckland are warning against leasehold property deals. Melanie Earley reports.

We're joined by Estate Agent and Landlord, Russell Hunt whose company, PetsLets, specifically focuses on finding properties for people with pets. We chat about why the conversation about renting pet friendly accommodation as fallen off the ‘radar' of late.We discuss why it is important that whichever party wins the upcoming election, they will prioritise the Renters Reform Bill particularly where the clause section 21 is concerned that currently gives powers to Landlords for short notice terminations and evictions. Despite over half of Briton's owning a dog, renting with pets is  still considered a niche market, with many estate agents focusing on lets without pets, rather than thinking more inclusively. We chat about the pros and cons of additional insurance, and why unfortunately some landlords may have been disappointed by irresponsible owners and as with everything it's the minority that spoils it for the majority. Russell explains that the issue is partly down to  supply and demand, and that often Landlords accept the highest bidder that appears to be the lowest maintenance for the property.  We segue and talk about Leasehold properties too and why before agreeing to any purchase or rent, ensure that your dog's name, is on the lease!For more information visit petslets.com or follow on Instagram or TikTokFor more about Anna go to annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff PawtraitsTo advertise on or sponsor A Dog's Life email: info@theloniouspunkproductions.com

Leasehold Property Owners MUST Watch This! Housing Market Update Leasehold Reform Act Passes into law. Join me online on my free live money management training Wednesday at 7.00PM. Places are limited, so register now Click: https://bit.ly/3QPp8IH The UK leasehold system has long been a contentious issue, and many argue it's one of the biggest scams in history. The current system, which dates back to feudal times, sees homeowners purchasing property but not the land it stands on. Instead, they lease the land from a freeholder, often for 99 years or more.  Watch on my Money Tips YouTube channel video - https://youtu.be/i9WAY0qrt0U In theory, this feudal relic has reformed by the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act which was passed into law by Parliament and granted the ‘Royal Assent' on 24 May 2024, just before it was closed for the forthcoming election. But many feel it has been watered down from its original aims. Read the Act in full - https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3523/publications  Leasehold Reform Act Summary An Act to prohibit the grant or assignment of certain new long residential leases of houses, To amend the rights of tenants under long residential leases to acquire the freeholds of their houses, To extend the leases of their houses or flats, and  To collectively enfranchise or manage the buildings containing their flats,  To give such tenants the right to reduce the rent payable under their leases to a peppercorn,  To regulate the relationship between residential landlords and tenants,  To regulate residential estate management,  To regulate rent charges and to amend the Building Safety Act 2022 in connection with the remediation of building defects and the insolvency of persons who have repairing obligations relating to certain kinds of buildings. The new law will be good news for most leaseholders, especially those holding short leases. Summary of benefits to leaseholders known as tenants. New rights for leasehold tenants to acquire their freehold; under the new legislation it will be cheaper and easier for tenants to buy a share of their freehold Tenants will no longer have to pay their freeholder's costs when making an enfranchisement claim. Selling new houses on a leasehold basis will be banned in England and Wales (save for in very specific circumstances) All new houses sold will be on a freehold basis. Standard lease extension terms will now increase to 990 years for both houses and flats (was previously 50 years for houses and 90 years for flats). The new legislation will mean that ‘marriage value' will not be split with a freeholder.  Marriage value is the hypothetical profit resulting from the extension of a short lease (being one with less than 80 years remaining). However, deferment and capitalisation rates still need to be set (and will be prescribed when the Act is brought into force).  The deferment rate is the figure used to calculate how much compensation a tenant pays to their landlord when extending the term of their lease. It is a crucial element in calculating the premium an owner must pay to extend their lease (or to secure a share of the freehold) and ultimately any change in the rate could be more costly for those with more than 80 years left to run on their leases where they are seeking to extend. Tenants will no longer have to own a property for 2 years (as per the Leasehold Reform Act 1967) before extension of a lease can be applied for, meaning extensions can be obtained from completion of a purchase. Enfranchisement for semicommercial properties will change from 25% to 50%. It has not possible to enfranchise a building which had over 25% of commercial parts; the new Act will qualify more buildings permitting leaseholders a greater opportunity to purchase the freehold or access the Right to Manage.  Service charges and insurance Landlords will now have to demand Service charges in a standard form and provide more clarity. Tenants will have the right to challenge unreasonable charges. A new ban on commissions made on insurance by freeholders and/or managing agents and more transparency on fees for placing insurance. Management of buildings The legislation will require those freeholders who manage any buildings to belong to a redress scheme enabling leaseholders to challenge charges.

The Pension Dashboard is intended to provide an online service to millions of people who have paid into a pension at work by showing all their pots and their value in one place. But the National Audit Office this week revealed a 'digital skills' shortage is behind delays, providers now have until October 2026 to connect to it. The costs of the dashboard are also up by almost a quarter to £279 million. Some people hoping to sell their leasehold homes are being charged large amounts by their freeholder to fill out a simple form which helps the sale to go through smoothly. We hear from 'Harry' who was just days away from exchanging contracts on his two bed flat in London when his sale collapsed because his freeholder wouldn't sign an LPE1 form unless Harry paid more than £20,000. The forms contain information such as ground rent and service charges and rules on pets. Also in the programme we answer listener questions about how to protect your money when banks merge, and applications open on the 12th of May for the next round of government funded childcare. Working parents in England with children aged nine months to under two years can apply for 15 hours of subsidised childcare starting from September. Parents have been encouraged by the Department for Education to act as soon as possible to secure their place.

Weekly conversation led by Dr Joelle Grogan about the law stories making the news and the legal decisions that could have a bearing on everyone in the UK. Whether it's explaining a new law or seeking clarity for you on a legal issue, The Law Show will be your guide.This week:Water: from the cryptosporidium outbreak in tap water in Devon, to E. coli bacteria in the Thames, and sewage in rivers, lakes and seas across the country - what does the law say about clean water? What obligations do water companies have, who enforces this, and who keeps an eye on the enforcers? Do we have a right to clean water to drink or swim in? Joelle explores all this and more with Angus Evers, Partner and Head of Environment Law at Shoosmiths, and with Dr Charlotte Proudman, a barrister and academic. Divorce: in England and Wales, the only divorce available now is no-fault divorce, as a result of a law change that came into force last year. As family law solicitor Tracey Moloney points out though, you also need to get a financial order. If not, your ties haven't been fully severed, and your ex-spouse could make a financial claim in future. In Scotland, you need to prove irretrievable breakdown of the marriage to get a divorce, or that one of you is applying for a gender recognition certificate. In Northern Ireland, you need to cite reasons like adultery, unreasonable behaviour or desertion. And: the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 was the last bill that became law just before parliament was dissolved for the general election. Under the Act, which covers England and Wales, leaseholders will gain more rights. For example, it will become easier and cheaper for them to buy their freehold, or extend leases to 990 years. There is also a ban on the sale of all new leasehold houses. But, the Act didn't cap, let alone abolish, ground rent, and hasn't come into force yet...Producers: Ravi Naik and Arlene Gregorius Editor: Tara McDermott Production co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele

Why leaseholds are ripping you off! The UK leasehold system has long been a contentious issue, and many argue it's one of the biggest scams in history. The current system, which dates back to feudal times, sees homeowners purchasing property but not the land it stands on. Instead, they lease the land from a freeholder, often for 99 years or more. This feudal relic is under scrutiny as the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill moves through Parliament, aiming to address some of the system's inherent unfairness. Leasehold ownership can feel like a trap for many. Despite buying their homes, leaseholders must pay ground rent to freeholders, which can increase significantly over time. Additionally, they often face hefty fees for minor alterations, high service charges, and exorbitant costs to extend their lease. Failure to comply with these terms can lead to severe penalties, including forfeiture of the property. This situation creates a financial burden and an ongoing dependency on freeholders, making it hard for homeowners to feel truly secure in their properties. The Leasehold Reform Bill seeks to abolish ground rents for new residential leases, which is a step in the right direction. However, it does little to alleviate the burdens on existing leaseholders. The bill also does not address other controversial issues like high service charges or the complex and costly process of enfranchisement, where leaseholders attempt to buy the freehold of their property. Critics argue that the current system is outdated and exploitative, designed to benefit freeholders at the expense of leaseholders. The feudal origins of leaseholds, meant to maintain control and extract wealth from tenants, seem archaic in the 21st century. With more than four million leasehold properties in the UK, the impact is widespread, affecting millions of homeowners. Reform is crucial, not just to modernize property ownership but to ensure fairness and security for homeowners. The Leasehold Reform Bill is a start, but comprehensive change is needed. Abolishing leaseholds entirely or drastically reducing the power imbalance between freeholders and leaseholders would be a significant step toward justice for UK homeowners. As the debate continues in Parliament, the hope is for a future where owning a home means true ownership without the strings of an outdated feudal system. Unfortunately, it looks like the legislation will be watered down and leaseholds will continue to plague flat owners in the UK. Will a future Labour government change this like they tried, and failed, before? #LeaseholdReform #PropertyScam #Homeownership #UKHousingCrisis #FreeholderAbuse #LeaseholdScandal   **References:** - "Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill" – UK Parliament: [Link](https://services.parliament.uk/bills/2021-22/leaseholdreformgroundrent.html) - The Guardian on Leasehold Abuses: [Link](https://www.theguardian.com/money/leasehold-scandal) - BBC News on Leasehold Reforms: [Link](https://www.bbc.com/news/business-leasehold-reform)

Around 10 million people across the UK live in a leasehold property. That means they viewed the house or flat, bought it, may be paying off a mortgage to eventually own it outright. However, they are actually tenants of whoever owns the freehold. What they have bought is the right to live in the property for a given amount of time. Sometimes that's for the best part of a thousand years - sometimes it's for much less.In this episode we hear from leaseholders on what some of the issues are, including ground rent and service charges and what can be done about them. We'll also hear from a charity which relies on leasehold revenues.It's a system that even ministers have described as feudal - behind the scenes, work continues on the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill, which is being examined by members of the House of Lords this week. The Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities say; “It is not fair that many leaseholders face unregulated ground rents for no guaranteed service in return."The Residential Freehold Association told us; “The Government's own report into leaseholder perspectives highlighted that the vast majority of leaseholders are content with the leasehold system." To answer your comments and questions, Felicity Hannah is joined by Matt Lewis, a Consultant Solicitor at Commonhold and Leasehold Experts Limited and Martin Boyd, chair of the government funded Leasehold Advisory Service and also chair of the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership, which supports and campaigns on behalf of leaseholders.

Rob delves into the complexities and issues surrounding leasehold properties in England and Wales. He highlights the challenges faced by leaseholders, such as escalating ground rent and service charges, as well as the low threshold for repossession if payments are not made. Rob also touches on the proposed Leasehold Reform Bill, which aims to ban the creation of new leasehold houses and make it easier for leaseholders to buy their freeholds.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The government is considering the Leasehold Reform Bill to ban the creation of new leasehold houses in England and Wales and make it easier for leaseholders to buy their freeholds. Currently, a leasehold property can be repossessed if the leaseholder owes as little as £350, which is considered a low amount and needs to be increased. It is crucial for individuals considering buying a leasehold property to conduct thorough research, especially regarding ground rent and service charges, and to engage a solicitor to review all agreements. Freeholders are urged to set fair charges and not take advantage of leaseholders, as unethical practices can tarnish the reputation of the housing market. BEST MOMENTS "A freehold basically means that you own the land that the buildings are on, and therefore you've pretty much got the right to do what you need and want to do." "£350 is what is all it takes at the moment for a property to potentially be repossessed if that's what the leaseholder owes. And that's not good." "Leasehold houses, modern leasehold houses, are just a bad idea in general, because people, if you're buying, especially if you're buying a house, and it's leasehold, that to me just spells danger." "The Leasehold Bill, it's making its way through Parliament. This would ban the creation of new leasehold houses in England and Wales. It would also make it easier for leaseholders to buy their freeholds." "From a freeholder point of view, dear freeholders, I understand there's a lot of things, costs out there, but do not rip people off because this is then painting everyone in a bad light."

Rob delves into the topic of leasehold properties and whether leasehold is a dying concept in the real estate market. He talks about the issues surrounding leasehold properties, such as escalating service charges, ground rent fees, and unscrupulous developer practices, emphasising the importance of thorough research and due diligence when considering purchasing a leasehold property, and highlighting the potential pitfalls and risks involved.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the differences between leasehold and freehold properties is crucial when considering purchasing a property. Buyers must conduct thorough research and due diligence before purchasing a leasehold property to avoid potential issues with service charges, ground rent fees, and lease lengths. The trust between buyers and developers in the leasehold market is diminishing due to issues such as high service charges, ground rent fees, and poor construction practices. Social media plays a significant role in highlighting issues within the leasehold market, potentially leading to a decline in trust and interest in leasehold properties. Having a reliable team of professionals, including a good solicitor and mortgage broker, is essential when navigating the complexities of purchasing a leasehold property to avoid getting trapped in unfavourable situations. BEST MOMENTS "Leasehold, I think, is slowly dying a death. Not just because there's government reforms and things like that, it's because the trust is starting to go between people that are buying and developers and everything to do with leasehold." "From a buyer point of view, you've always got to be careful and aware of what you're buying, why you're buying it, and what all of these caveats are." "From a developer's point of view, stop taking the piss and stop milking it, because not only are you going to give yourself a bad reputation, you're then going to affect everyone else in the market."

In on the Act kicks off its 2024 series with a deep dive into the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill. Part of the government's commitment to leasehold reform, the Bill was introduced in November 2023 and is now working its way through the Parliamentary process. To unpack its detail, EG's Sarah Jackman is joined by Stephen Jourdan KC, barrister at Falcon Chambers, who sets the scene by discussing the drivers for leasehold reform and recent work undertaken by the Law Commission in the area. He then details the main provisions set out in the Bill, including changes to the lease extension term for houses and flats, as well as covering other elements such as the administration of service charges and buildings insurance costs. He also highlights the Bill's omissions, notably commonhold and a ban on new leasehold property. But with a general election looming, how likely is the Bill to make it onto the statute books in 2024?

Rob looks at the disappointment surrounding the UK government's decision to not include the leasehold ban in its new housing reform law. He stresses the importance of doing thorough research and having a reliable solicitor when purchasing a property, especially when it comes to leasehold houses and the potential issues with service charges and ground rents, and also touches on the political dynamics and speculate about the future of leasehold reforms under a Labour government.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK government has decided not to include the leasehold ban in its new housing reform law, which is a disappointment for many people. The government has a history of saying one thing and doing another, so it's not surprising that they have not followed through on their promise. When purchasing a property, it is important to do your own homework and have a good solicitor who can point out any red flags, especially when it comes to leasehold houses and the challenges they may present. The government's decision may be influenced by their own interests, such as owning block management companies or having ties to leasehold companies. BEST MOMENTS "Surprise, surprise, the government have decided to not include the leasehold ban in its new housing reform law."  "Labour saying that the bill's been watered down and doesn't match what was promised by government."  "Mr Gove has branded leaseholds unfair and outdated. He's previously said he wants to scrap them entirely."  "We shouldn't be surprised by this whatsoever. It is what it is. This is the way the system is."  VALUABLE RESOURCES GET YOUR DEVELOPMENT FINANCE HERE: https://propertyfundingplatform.com/WharfFinancial#!/borrowerinitialregistration SOVEREIGN MAN PREMIUM INTELLIGENCE MEMBERSHIP https://dash.sovereignman.com/a/smc12m995/tpnpodcast SOVEREIGN MAN 4th PILLAR https://dash.sovereignman.com/a/4pmain/tpnpodcast ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone is the author of the Amazon best-seller Buy-To-Let: How To Get Started as well as 101 Top Property Tips and Property FAQ's.

Understanding Landlord-Tenant Relationships. Landlord-Tenant Law governs the rights and obligations of both landlords and tenants in the context of leasing real property. Whether you're a property owner seeking to lease your space or a tenant looking for a place to call home, understanding these legal dynamics is crucial. Key Elements of Landlord-Tenant Law. Lease Agreements. At the heart of the landlord-tenant relationship lies the lease agreement. This legally binding document outlines the terms and conditions of the tenancy, covering aspects such as rent, duration of the lease, and responsibilities of both parties. Types of Leases. Leases can take various forms, including fixed-term leases and month-to-month leases. Each type comes with its own set of implications for both landlords and tenants. Rights and Responsibilities. Understanding the rights and responsibilities of both parties is essential for maintaining a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. Landlord's Rights and Duties. Landlords have the right to receive rent in a timely manner and to maintain the property in a habitable condition. However, they also have responsibilities, such as providing necessary repairs and adhering to local housing codes. Tenant's Rights and Duties. Tenants, on the other hand, have the right to a habitable living space and privacy. They are obligated to pay rent on time and adhere to the terms of the lease. Eviction and Lease Termination. Sometimes, disputes arise, leading to eviction or termination of the lease. Understanding the legal grounds for eviction and the proper procedures to follow is crucial for both parties. Case Study: The Evans Eviction. In the Evans case, a landlord sought to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent. The court's decision emphasized the importance of following the legal eviction process and providing proper notice. Landlord-Tenant Law in Practice. To illustrate these concepts further, let's explore a real-world scenario: Scenario: The Miller Lease Dispute. Mr. Miller, a tenant, discovered a mold issue in his rented apartment. He notified the landlord, Mrs. Johnson, who failed to address the problem promptly.

After proposals banning leaseholds on new houses are announced in the King's Speech, Will Bain asks how much difference the new reforms could make to issues faced by current leaseholders. We take a look ahead to retailer M&S's third quarter results and find out what it could say about the wider sector. Plus, what are this Christmas's top toys expected to be, and why?

Tens of thousands of people are demanding an end to leasehold laws in England and Wales. They say they're trapped by an avalanche of bills, whilst freeholders rake in the cash. Both Labour and the Tories (after A LOT hesitation) have vowed to reform leasehold laws. But how could they do it? It's an issue that could turn many at the ballot box in next year's general election.
