Guidance for people who are buying or own a leasehold property in England or Wales

Details

This guide sets out a number of things to consider when buying, or if you already own, a leasehold property. It is not a comprehensive guide to leasehold property issues. It reflects important concerns or questions raised with the CMA by consumers about leasehold ownership during the CMA’s leasehold investigation.

Buying and owning a house or flat is a significant investment. This guide is not a substitute for legal advice and if you have any queries about a leasehold property, whether you are looking to purchase or already own one, you should take independent legal advice.
