To promote uptake of commonhold as the default ownership tenure and streamline the conversion process, the draft bill should establish conversion to commonhold as the default outcome of a collective enfranchisement. This would remove an additional layer of bureaucracy from the process, which in some cases may impede homeowners from realising the benefits of commonhold once they have already met the 50% threshold of support to buy their building’s freehold. To retain consumer choice, leaseholders should still be able to ‘opt-out’ of automatic conversion by a 50% vote. Only following a successful vote against automatic conversion to commonhold would leaseholders be able to proceed under a share of freehold model should they wish. (Recommendation, Paragraph 153)
