Partner Shabnam Ali-Khan has provided expert advice on the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill in an article from This is Money, guiding homeowners looking to sell a property with a short lease on whether to wait for the Bill to become law, cross-check a valuation, and extend the lease before selling.
