Collective enfranchisement is the ultimate form of flat ownership.

I can't thank Ricky at Peppercorn Law enough for navigating what was a challenging freehold purchase within a very tight deadline and managing to keep all parties involved happy in the process. Peppercorn Law stood out for me due to their transparency and specialist knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I have had the pleasure of using Ricky Coleman’s expertise on a number of occasions. He offered excellent advice on a legal case through the drop in sessions at Hove, and was also instructed to carry out the legal work for a Freehold purchase more recently. He is very approachable, with a great eye for detail and a fantastic memory!
