Podcast – Tax and Lease Extensions

I recently recorded a podcast for the website Property Battlefield on the subject of ‘Tax and Lease Extensions’ with my colleague and tax expert Philip Vickery from Bishop & Sewell LLP. This follows on from the article that appears on this site.

What is Freehold? and How do I Buy My Freehold?

I recently recorded a podcast with the website Property Battlefield that looked at the question of ‘What is freehold?’ and also how flat owners can go about buying their freeholds.

To download a copy of the podcast click here: Podcast – “What is freehold?”

The discussion was about why we have freehold. It also looks at the two main ways in which leaseholders can buy their freeholds. This tends to be either under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 where the landlord serves a notice seeking to sell, or to obtain clearance for a sale, or under the the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. In the second case, the flat owners serve notice on the landlord.

Both options present a range of issues that need to be considered, including pricing and timing.

Property Battlefield is a site run by John Savage that provides information for estate agents and other property professionals although the topics covered in the podcast will be of interest to property investors, managers and anyone looking to buy their freehold or find out more about buying the freehold to their block.
