Full Conversation

the freeholder of a building wishes to transfer it to the leaseholders of the building (they have created a management company for this purpose) all of them will have shares in it so effectively they are all purchasing the freehold. In that scenario, do the landlords still need to serve section * notices?
In England, if the transfer of the freehold is to the leaseholders collectively through a management company, the landlord may not need to serve Section * notices under the Landlord and Tenant Act *. However, it's advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all legal requirements for this process.
