Boston Radford is a practice of Chartered Surveyors which specialises in the negotiation of statutory lease extensions and enfranchisement claims. With a combined experience of more than 100 years, we are one of the most experienced practices specialising in leasehold enfranchisement in Prime Central London. The legislation derives from the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, which was the first piece of legislation to give leaseholders the right to enfranchise.The legislation was enacted under a Labour government and its stated aim was "to enable tenants of houses held on long leases at low rents to acquire the freehold or an extended lease".

Charles is a Fellow of the RICS, having qualified in 1982. He was one of the very first surveyors to specialise in leasehold enfranchisement in Central London and has more than forty years' experience. He acts mainly (but not exclusively) for tenants in the Prime Central London area and has negotiated lease extensions and enfranchisements of some of the most important residential buildings in the capital.
After qualifying with an Honours degree in Urban Estate Management, Simon joined Weatherall Green & Smith as a senior surveyor dealing principally in significant portfolio valuations. In 1998 he was appointed a director of Egerton Chartered Surveyors based in Mount Street, Mayfair, where he was involved in various landlord and tenant matters including leasehold enfranchisement claims, valuations and rent reviews.
David Radford left Greenwich University in 1991 with a Honours Degree in Estate Management. He joined a small residential practice in Chelsea in 1994, since when he has specialised in advising clients in relation to lease extensions, collective enfranchisements and individual enfranchisements. In 2003 he joined Knight Frank as a partner, and over 8 years he helped set up and develop their specialist department.
The legislation derives from the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, which was the first piece of legislation to give leaseholders the right to enfranchise. The houses covered by this legislation were limited to those below a specific rateable value (in the days when residential property had a rateable value) and it did nothing to help owners of flats.
