I’ve recently purchased a leasehold property. How can I find out what my rights and responsibilities are?

To find your rights and responsibilities, you should start out by reading your lease.

If you find it tricky to read through, you could refer to the contract report your conveyancer gave to you before you exchanged contracts. This report will summarise the important rights and obligations set out in your lease.

In addition to your lease, there are certain rights that are given to you in law. For example, the right to extend the lease or the right to collectively enfranchise.

For more information on this, you can search our website or book a telephone appointment to speak to one of our advisers.

LEASE is governed by a board, appointed as individuals by the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
