O Government<\/a> first indicated that they are looking into the potential of overhauling the current arrendamento<\/a> enfranchisement<\/a> process back in 2017 when it asked the Law Commission to review certain areas of leasehold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to January 2021, and a government press release<\/a> announced that the Government were looking to make significant changes to the current system adopting many of the changes proposed by the Law Commission in its response. The press release focused on amendments that they say would make the process \u201cfairer\u201d for the leaseholder.

O panorama dos arrendamentos de longa dura\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e1 mais de tr\u00eas d\u00e9cadas que o Leasehold Reform, Housing<\/a> and Urban Development Act 1993<\/em> has governed leasehold enfranchisement. This legislation, however, has been a source of contention. Critics argue that the cost of extending a leaseholder\u2019s lease<\/a> was too high and that unwary purchasers of what appeared to be long leaseholds such as 99 years, would soon have to pay potentially significant sums to extend their lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, the process has been considered favourable to the landlord<\/a> as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) receberiam pr\u00e9mios potencialmente significativos, especialmente quando o prazo do contrato de arrendamento fosse inferior a 80 anos, uma vez que isso atrairia o \u2018valor de casamento\u2019;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) o arrendat\u00e1rio era obrigado a pagar as despesas processuais razo\u00e1veis incorridas pelo senhorio.

Medida do Governo: O projeto de lei sobre a reforma do regime de arrendamento e da propriedade plena<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No final de 2023, o governo revelou o projeto de lei sobre a reforma do regime de arrendamento e da propriedade plena<\/a>, currently navigating its way through the Committee Stage. The Bill<\/a> would make the following key amendments to the current leasehold enfranchisement system:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Eliminar o requisito de que o arrendat\u00e1rio seja propriet\u00e1rio do im\u00f3vel h\u00e1 dois anos para dar in\u00edcio ao processo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Increase the compulsory extension<\/a> from 90 years to a whopping 990 years;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Eliminar a obriga\u00e7\u00e3o de o arrendat\u00e1rio pagar o \u2018valor de casamento\u2019;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Eliminar a possibilidade de o senhorio recuperar os seus custos junto do arrendat\u00e1rio na maioria das situa\u00e7\u00f5es.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emancipa\u00e7\u00e3o coletiva<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The proposed amendments extend beyond individual<\/a> leaseholders. Collective enfranchisement, particularly in mixed-use buildings, is also in for reform:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The percentage limit of non-residential areas in mixed-use buildings that would prevent the residencial<\/a> leaseholds from buying<\/a> a freehold<\/a> increase from 25% to 50%;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 O senhorio pode ser obrigado a assumir o arrendamento de volta de quaisquer apartamentos do edif\u00edcio que n\u00e3o participem no programa, o que reduziria o pr\u00e9mio total a pagar.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O bra\u00e7o de ferro: senhorios vs. inquilinos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While these reforms bring a breath of fresh air for leaseholders, landlords may not be as thrilled. It is predicted that landlord lobbies may well put pressure on the Government to make amendments, especially about<\/a> the effective abolition of marriage value. Some landlords vontade<\/a> have bought propriedade<\/a> e paid<\/a> higher amounts based on the future premiums that would be received by leaseholders. They are now potentially set to lose out on considerable premiums with no compensation. There are questions as to whether this would go against the rights of the landlord, and this could potentially lead to litigation<\/a> in this area.

O dilema dos arrendat\u00e1rios<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Os arrendat\u00e1rios enfrentam agora um dilema. A perspetiva de esperar que estas reformas entrem em vigor, garantindo uma prorroga\u00e7\u00e3o mais longa e, potencialmente, poupando nos pr\u00e9mios, \u00e9 tentadora. No entanto, a incerteza quanto \u00e0 data em que estas altera\u00e7\u00f5es entrar\u00e3o em vigor e se a vers\u00e3o final estar\u00e1 em conformidade com o projeto atual suscita preocupa\u00e7\u00f5es. Esperar pode at\u00e9 levar a um aumento dos pr\u00e9mios ao abrigo do sistema atual.
