Finally new businesses are now being developed to feed off leaseholders. Intermediaries that charge several hundred pounds per flat to help organise enfranchisement and lease extensions. Most of the rules (laws) which in theory, protect leaseholders cannot be used due to lack of expertise, time, money, or support.

The more complicated the law, the more advisors are needed to sort it out . The experts who are employed in disputes are also the rule makers whose rules led to the disputes in the first place.
