Associate Solicitor
Yasmin Benlafki
Yasmin is an Associate Solicitor in our Property team, specialising exclusively in Leasehold Enfranchisement.
Our leasehold enfranchisement specialists help both individuals and collectives to purchase the freeholds of properties. We’re here to guide you through what can be complex negotiations and provide you with practical, clear advice that explains your ownership rights – explaining all the technical details and protecting your position.

Acquiring a freehold can give leaseholders greater control over their property and its future. But the process can involve eligibility requirements, valuation, statutory procedures and negotiations, making specialist advice important from the outset.
We have experience supporting clients through every stage of the process. We’ll take the time to understand your circumstances, explain your options clearly and provide advice tailored to your long-term plans.
Our enfranchisement expertise includes:
We’ll advise qualifying leaseholders on acquiring the freehold of their property, guiding you through the process from start to finish.
If you’re part of a group of leaseholders in a building, we can help you work together to acquire the freehold, advising on the process, negotiations and legal requirements.
RTM allows qualifying leaseholders to take responsibility for managing their building without buying the freehold. This can include arranging maintenance, managing services and appointing contractors. We’ll help leaseholders understand their eligibility and guide the group through the process.
