Draft leasehold and commonhold reform bill: what property professionals need to know webinar

Overview

With the UK government set to mandate commonhold for new flats and overhaul key leasehold mechanisms, what does this mean for landlords, developers and existing leaseholders?

The UK residential property sector is undergoing a period of significant structural reform, driven by the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 and the Government’s proposed shift towards commonhold as the future default tenure.

While the direction of travel is clear, the practical implications for professionals remain complex and, in many areas, uncertain.

This webinar provides a focused and practical overview of how these reforms are expected to reshape ownership structures, valuation approaches, asset management responsibilities, and risk across residential property.

The session will help surveyors, valuers and property professionals understand what is changing, what remains unclear, and how to navigate this evolving landscape with confidence.
