Taking back a property to refurbish under proposed new rent reform act?

Taking back a property to refurbish under proposed new rent reform act?

Hello, our business model is purchasing unbroken blocks of apartments and then splitting the title, refurbishing the units and re-letting. In most cases, the tenancies are all on rolling contracts. For those that aren’t, we let them run and then refurbish.

My query is:

Assuming the Rent Reform Act does come into play next year, will it mean I have to go down the section 8 redevelopment/extensive refurbishment route?

And if so, I have seen a “6-month” wording somewhere. Can I implement section 8 immediately once purchasing the block, or do I need to give a rolling tenant 6-month notice?

Thanks in advance!

Stephen

Can you clarify- you buy title to land and estate then split the title and each flat has its own title with Absolute guarantee to a125 year underlease holding reversion and registered at HMLR.
You hold the Freehold interest in a management company as the lessor deploying service charge for maintenance of communal areas. The rent is the Ground Rent collected under CLRA 2002 payable to the Lessor
Management co.
