# LEASEHOLD ENFRANCHISEMENT NOTICE

Date: 12 August 2031

Parties: The qualifying leaseholders of 7–13 Bridge Street and Cedar Estates plc

## 1. Purpose and parties

The participating leaseholders of 7–13 Bridge Street, Bath, give Cedar Estates plc a collective enfranchisement notice under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The nominee purchaser is Bridge Street Freehold Company Limited, incorporated by Amelia Reed, Jamal Khan and Priya Nair.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

The seven flats have qualifying residential leases granted on 30 June 2009 for 125 years, with £2,657.14 annual ground rent per flat and a £9,400 building-wide annual service charge. The participants are Amelia Reed (7 Bridge Street, Flat 1), Jamal Khan (9 Bridge Street, Flat 2), Priya Nair (9 Bridge Street, Flat 3), Lewis Hart (11 Bridge Street, Flat 4), Sophie Evans (11 Bridge Street, Flat 5), Daniel Wood (13 Bridge Street, Flat 6) and Mina Patel (13 Bridge Street, Flat 7). Each has owned the relevant flat for more than two years, and none claims a disqualifying commercial use.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

The proposed price is £214,000, subject to valuation. It reflects an instructed valuation by Harriet Cole FRICS using the lease terms, a 102-year unexpired term, £18,600 total annual rent and the building's £9,400 annual service charge. The nominee purchaser will pay reasonable statutory costs but disputes unreasonable or duplicated work.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The leaseholders enclose executed authority, Land Registry title information, leases and the valuer's report. Cedar must preserve rent and service-charge ledgers, permits reasonable inspection and identifies any counter-notice or missing information promptly; personal data is limited to the statutory purpose.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

Cedar must serve a counter-notice by 12 December 2031, or any earlier statutory date properly notified. The parties will seek a negotiated price and terms after the counter-notice; unresolved price or terms may be referred to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), without treating negotiation as acceptance.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

The notice is not a transfer, and the price is not an admission of the freehold value. Each leaseholder remains liable for its own lease obligations, and the group will fund valuation and tribunal costs in proportion to each flat's participation unless a written variation says otherwise.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

This completed fictional notice is dated 12 August 2031 and is intended for service under England and Wales law at Cedar's registered office. The leaseholders keep proof of service, the schedules and independent legal and valuation advice.
