Description

Join us for a timely and practical conference exploring the latest and most significant developments shaping the UK property landscape. Our expert speakers will unpack how the TCC and the FTT and UTT have considered claims under the Building Safety Act and provide clarity on the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, separating what is now in force from what remains delayed or blocked.

The programme will also cover a comprehensive commercial landlord and tenant update, alongside a deep dive into the Renters’ Rights Act, focusing on implementation challenges, emerging litigation trends and its wider market impact.

Looking ahead, the session will explore the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill, asking whether it truly signals the end of leasehold flats, and consider the implications of the new register of contractual controls (including options and conditional contracts) introduced under the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023.

Designed for property professionals who need clear insight and practical takeaways, this conference will help you stay ahead of reform and confidently plan for what comes next.

10:10 - 10:45 Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 – What is in force and what is still blocked? - Andrew Small , Kings Chambers

The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 stands partly enacted and partly not. The complexities and possible second-order effects of the Act have led to a slow commencement process. Andrew’s talk will take a practitioner-focused overview of what major changes have taken place and what is still dangling above the heads of landlords, agents and legal practitioners. It will flag immediate risk areas fand what may await in the future with secondary legislation, possible areas of appellate litigation and what might happen next in terms of further reforms.

10:45 - 11:20 The draft commonhold and leasehold reform bill – is it the end of leasehold flats? - David Green, One Hundred Court Chamber

The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill – Is it the end for leasehold flats? Described as a revolution in long-term residential rights, the talk will outline the main provisions of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill and provide guidance as to what it will mean for both existing long leasehold flats and new residential developments.
