The Freehold Collective launches collaborative property network

A new specialist business network has been launched to bring together professionals working across leasehold, commonhold and the wider residential property sector

The TFC Partner Network, co-ordinated by leasehold enfranchisement firm The Freehold Collective, aims to unite carefully selected experts who advise leaseholders, freeholders and other property stakeholders.

The network is inviting applications from solicitors, surveyors, managing agents, insurers, accountants, investors, developers and specialist contractors operating in the field. It is designed to encourage collaboration, knowledge-sharing and high-quality referrals, offering members access to shared commercial opportunities, cross-referrals, structured networking events and expert-led webinars.

Mike Somekh (pictured), founder of The Freehold Collective, said leasehold enfranchisement and commonhold are 'highly complex and constantly evolving areas of law' where small technical nuances can have significant consequences. By bringing together experienced professionals, he said, the network aims to raise standards, deepen expertise and deliver stronger outcomes for clients. He added that in a rapidly changing legislative landscape, partners would benefit from qualified referrals, early insight into reform and enhanced results for their practices.

The Freehold Collective plans to establish a core group of 30 active partners within six months, forming what it describes as a strong national network committed to collaboration, transparency and excellence in enfranchisement and lease extension work.
