Leaseholds & share of freehold
2 Answers
What happens when a long residential leaseholder's lease runs out if they also have a share of the freehold? I suppose it just means they have a vote in whether to grant a new long lease to themself? Is it better to extend the existing lease or wait till it expires since you've got a share of freehold?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.With "a share of the freehold" you presumably mean that a management company formed for the purpose holds the freehold and that you have a share in the management company. It is normal for the management company to issue 99 year leases to the shareholders and when this drops to 70 years to issue new 99 year leases.
