Bluepoint Consulting acted on behalf of the leaseholders of this Mayfair building to negotiate a non-statutory purchase of the freehold from Grosvenor Estate, despite the estate’s general policy of not selling freeholds and despite the fact that this building was considered non-qualifying for statutory purchase by collective enfranchisement. The purchase of the freehold for nearly £3 million put into the leaseholders' possession the freehold of one of the larger residential buildings in central Mayfair.

Bluepoint Consulting advised the leaseholders on the collective enfranchisement to purchase the freehold of this building from a freeholder who did not want to sell and tried every route to retain the freehold, all the way to an LVT hearing. Despite the freeholder’s attempts to argue for a price of £305,000, with Bluepoint’s guidance the leaseholders achieved an LVT determination of £150,000.

The leaseholders of this Earl’s Court building approached Bluepoint Consulting just weeks before the critical point where their leases would have unexpired terms of less than 80 years. Bluepoint organised their successful collective enfranchisement in time for the purchase of the freehold to be priced very considerably lower than would have been the case had the 80 year point elapsed.

Bluepoint Consulting acted for the leaseholders of this West Hampstead building on their purchase of the freehold by collective enfranchisement including four retail units on the ground floor. The leaseback of the retail shops to the former freeholder was the subject of disagreement and required an application to the LVT for a determination of the terms of the retail leases with respect to the control the leaseholders could exercise over the type of retailer which may occupy the shops. With guidance from Bluepoint Consulting, the leaseholders achieved a prohibition on inappropriate use of the retail spaces for the duration of the former freeholder’s 999 year leaseback.

Bluepoint Consulting was approached by the leaseholders of this building in Brook Green to advise on remedies to a difficult relationship with a freeholder who was determined to proceed with expensive works to the building against their desire. Bluepoint guided them through the collective enfranchisement process, against numerous legal attempts by the freeholder to impede them, with the end result of their purchase of the freehold and their control over future expenditure on the building.
