Matt Lewis

I have spent my entire career advising and assisting clients with their residential leasehold relationships, along with managing teams providing these legal services.

I have a particular passion for advising, talking and writing on the topic of commonhold.

I work closely with managing agents, leaseholders, leaseholder organisations, and landlords and can often be found speaking or writing on these topics. I am delighted that my professional work and that within the sector has been noted by others, having been acknowledged several times over the years with industry accolades and awards.

I have an in depth understanding of transactional and contentious elements of long leasehold landlord and tenant relationships. In recent times, I have taken a specific interest in advising conceptually on commonhold, and attending to complex contentious enfranchisement and right to manage matters, along with the interrelationship of these areas with building safety.

I am a co-founder and Director of Leasehold Management Professionals (LMP), an organisation formed to raise standards in the residential block and estate management space.

I sit as a judge in the national Property Management Awards (PMAs) hosted by News on the Block.

In my spare time, I can be found running around after my children or (sometimes whilst) watching the drama unfold at Elland Road, Leeds United Football Club!
