# FREEHOLD PURCHASE NOTICE

Date: 9 May 2034

Parties: The qualifying leaseholders of 27 Ashdown Court and Ashdown Court Freeholds Ltd

## 1. Purpose and parties

The qualifying leaseholders of flats 1 to 6 at 27 Ashdown Court, Brighton BN2 6JP give this proposed collective-enfranchisement notice to Ashdown Court Freeholds Ltd at 80 Marine Square, Brighton BN2 1AB on 9 May 2034. The participating leaseholders are Aisha Khan, Ben Carter, Chloe Reed and Daniel Wong, each signing for the flat stated below.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

Aisha holds Flat 1 under a lease dated 4 August 2011, Ben holds Flat 2 under a lease dated 18 November 2010, Chloe holds Flat 4 under a lease dated 2 February 2012, and Daniel holds Flat 6 under a lease dated 7 July 2009. Their preliminary review indicates qualifying residential leases, but each participant must verify statutory qualification, exclusions and the building's status.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

The leaseholders seek acquisition of the freehold under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, subject to the statutory procedure and professional advice. The notice is not intended to waive a right, admit a counter-notice position or state a final premium. Any nominee purchaser will be confirmed in the required form.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

For initial valuation only, the collective offer is £286,000 for the freehold interest, apportioned equally as £71,500 per participating flat. This figure is a proposal rather than a concluded valuation and excludes each side's own professional costs, which may be recoverable or payable under the statutory scheme. The parties must obtain valuation advice before relying on the figure.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

The proposed purchaser's address for notices is 12 Sussex Mews, Brighton BN1 4RF, care of Harbour Legal Services. Please send the statutory counter-notice and other required communications there, while copying each leaseholder. No completion date is fixed by this notice; dates and deposit arrangements will follow the legislation, any counter-notice and the conveyancing process.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

The leaseholders request confirmation of receipt and preservation of the freehold title, management accounts, insurance documents, service-charge records and relevant lease information. The landlord should not treat this notice as authority to enter or as consent to alter leases. If the claim is challenged or negotiations fail, the parties may need the appropriate tribunal or court route and independent advice.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

This completed fictional notice is intended for England and Wales and is dated 9 May 2034. It is a worked example, not a substitute for the prescribed statutory form, signatures, service evidence, qualification checks or specialist valuation. The participants reserve rights concerning costs, enfranchisement terms and limitation, and understand that a valid notice can have procedural consequences.
