A number of colleagues and I attended the Federation of Private Residents Associations (FPRA) AGM in Central London on 10th November 2014. I was speaking to delegates about lease extensions and buying your freehold in a number of workshops.

Other speakers included Rt Hon Keith Hill who spoke on ARMA-Q and the regulation of managing agents and the leasehold sector. The conference was expertly chaired by the FPRA’s own Bob Smytherman.

A number of interesting questions were raised by speakers, including the total number of leasehold properties in England and Wales (2.5M or 5M?), the likely figure (I believe closer to 4.2M).

If anyone would like to get in contact to discuss any questions arising from the workshops then by all means email leasehold@bishopandsewell.co.uk
