<p>The Government is looking to standardise the enfranchisement process and asked
the Law Commission to review current arrangements to make them easier, faster, fairer
and cheaper. The Law Commission has now published its first report to Government,
on the valuation aspects of enfranchisement. The report, which follows a consultation
by the Law Commission, sets out a number of options relating to valuation, including
purchasing a freehold and extending the lease of a house or flat. We expect the Law
Commission will report on the remaining aspects of enfranchisement later in the spring. The
Government will carefully consider the proposals outlined in the Law Commission’s
report and set out its preferred way forward in due course.</p>
