This session will explore what the tenants can acquire in addition to the ‘main course’ of the freehold of the block:

• Appurtenant property
• Unallocated land; amenity land over which lessees lack user rights
• Recent developments concerning ‘permanent rights’
• Potential to retain the power to regulate
• Leasehold interests which may – or may not – be acquired
• Void areas; landlord’s own areas; common parts subject to adequate reserved rights.
