Right of First Refusal

Our Right of First Refusal Expertise

When a landlord intends to make a relevant disposal of an interest in a block containing residential leases, it may need to offer a right of first refusal to the qualifying tenants of that block first. The provisions of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1987 are complex and badly drafted often leading to disputes.

Closely linked to Tanfield’s award-winning work on Leasehold Enfranchisement and Right to Manage, barristers are recognised experts in problems arising with the Right of First Refusal.

As well as representing clients in any litigation arising under the Right to Manage legislation, members of Tanfield offer commercially practical advice on whether the Right applies, the procedure, the form of notices and the consequences of failing to comply.
