Find a Solicitor for Buying or Selling a Share of Freehold

Hassle-Free Legal Support from Trusted UK Property Solicitors

Buying or selling a share of freehold? Whether you’re a leaseholder looking to gain greater control over your building or selling your interest in a freehold company, expert legal guidance is essential.

At Gordon and Thompson Solicitors, we specialise in property transactions involving leasehold and freehold interests. Our experienced team offers straightforward, stress-free legal support for clients across England and Wales.

What Is a Share of Freehold?

A share of freehold typically applies to leasehold flats where leaseholders collectively own the freehold. Ownership can be structured either:

• Through a limited company (each flat owner owns a share), or

• As individual trustees holding the freehold jointly

This setup gives flat owners more control over building management, often leading to better maintenance and lower service charges.

Why You Need a Specialist Solicitor

Buying or selling a share of freehold is more complex than a typical property sale. It involves elements of both leasehold and freehold law, as well as potential Companies House and stamp duty considerations. A specialist solicitor ensures:

• ✅ Proper transfer of the lease and freehold interest

• ✅ Completion of TR1 and share/stock transfer forms

• ✅ Compliance with Companies House filing (if a limited company is involved)

• ✅ Legal review of Memorandum and Articles of Association

• ✅ Negotiation support to protect your legal and financial interests
