Understanding Commonhold: A Guide to Converting Your Leasehold Property
Commonhold is a form of freehold ownership tailored for multi-unit buildings, such as blocks of flats. Each owner holds the freehold title to their individual unit (e.g., a flat) and becomes a member of a commonhold association—a company limited by guarantee that manages shared spaces like hallways, roofs, and gardens. The association operates democratically: decisions on maintenance, budgets, and rules are made by unit owners, typically through voting based on allocated shares.
