PropMatch Curated Analysis
The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act has created market uncertainty rather than clarity, with 67% of practitioners saying lease extensions haven't become easier and transaction volumes declining as both leaseholders and freeholders delay decisions.
Investor Relevance
Critical for investors with leasehold properties as ongoing uncertainty affects asset values, exit strategies, and transaction timing. The delays in reform implementation are creating market paralysis, affecting both acquisition and disposal decisions, while potentially driving up rather than down enfranchisement costs.
