Following the release of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill in January 2026, the Government has made its direction of travel clear that the future of flat ownership in England and Wales is set to change fundamentally.
For many property lawyers, Commonhold remains theoretical, unfamiliar, and easy to ignore. But with political backing and increasing momentum, this is no longer a distant concept and the time needed to fully understand this in essence new tenure is huge and will reshape residential conveyancing.
In this timely session, Paul Sams cuts through the noise to answer the questions that really matter:
- What is Commonhold in practice
- Why has it failed to take off since 2002 and what’s changing now
- How transactions will actually work differently
- What new risks will firms face, including implications for Professional Indemnity Insurance
- What do lawyers, developers, and housing providers need to start doing today
Drawing on real-world insight and the latest developments, Paul will also challenge some of the common assumptions around Commonhold and explore whether the reality may be more complex.
If you work in residential property and aren’t already thinking about Commonhold, you risk being left behind.
This webinar is relevant for anyone working in residential conveyancing.
