The firm

Commonhold and Leasehold Experts Limited is a team of award-winning lawyers with a wealth of knowledge from varying backgrounds - we pride ourselves on being the “Experts”. We work as a close team to offer a range of commonhold, landlord and tenant services, which is considered to be one of the most technical areas of law in England and Wales.

Our services include inhouse training to other professionals, including lawyers, valuers, surveyors and managing agents, particularly on the subject of commonhold. The team also writes text books and frequently speaks at national conferences, promoting commonhold in particular. 

In addition to advising on substantive matters, our lawyers continue to work relentlessly on the reforms to create a better system for all with our team working directly and indirectly on the reforms with Government.

We are members of the Property Litigation Association and the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners.
