Services
The Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 ('the Act') provides a lessee, who has owned a flat for in excess of two years and who holds a lease which was originally granted for a term of over 21 years, a statutory right to extend the length of that lease by an additional 90 years to and to reduce the annual ground rent to a peppercorn (nil value).
The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 ('the Act') provides qualifying lessees with the legal right to purchase the freehold of the building within which their flats are located; otherwise known as 'the right to collective enfranchisement'.
Unfortunately, far too many houses have been sold on a leasehold basis without buyers truly understanding the implications. Many of these not suffer from onerous ground rents and restrictive covenants making them near on impossible to sell at true market value.
Where the landlord cannot be found or his identity ascertained, a lease extension claim or a freehold acquisition claim can still go ahead. Once you, or your solicitor have made every endeavour to track down a missing landlord and, assuming sufficient proof of this is provided to the County Court, a vesting order can be granted, with the First Tier Tribunal subsequently determining the premium to be paid into Court.
We provide formal property and estate valuation advice, compliant with RICS Valuation Standards, for Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax purposes. Having trained and worked at the District Valuers for over eight years, Johanne Coupe is experienced and well placed to negotiate settlements with the District Valuer's office when necessary.

Report
I was recommended Johanne Coupe when arranging a lease extension. Jo provided a very comprehensive evaluation and calculated a price the extension should cost. As a result I was able to re-negotiate lower lease extension price (and save myself a lot of money). I was very impressed with how professional and efficient the service was and I'm grateful to Jo for explaining everything clearly along the way. I would highly recommend!

Report
I contacted Johanne Coupe to discuss the purchase of the Freehold of a block of 4 Flats on behalf of the current Lessees. As a group we needed reassurance that the asking price from the Landlord was calculated correctly using the stipulated legislation. Johanne explained the valuation process, reviewed the offer and confirmed the price was fair. We are now in the final stages of the acquisition. I would recommend Coupe Property Consultants without hesitation. Thoroughly Professional.

Report
I was recommended Johanne Coupe by a neighbour. Needing advise on how best to deal with doubling ground rent. Johanne knows her stuff and told me everything I need to know and all options open to me. We are currently waiting to see what the government comes up with later in the year, so for now we are on hold. With Johanne's advice we will then see what our next step is. I would highly recommend Johanne based on my experience.
