How long does the enfranchisement process take?
• If proceeding under the Act, the process will usually take between 9 and 12 months if the claim is settled prior to the Tribunal. Going to the Tribunal may add a further 6 months to a year to the process. • If however, you are able to agree terms to extend your lease or buy the freehold outside of the Act, the process can be considerably quicker.
