Conclusion
We have identified that a non-consenting leaseholder who subsequently decides to participate in a commonhold, after their block has converted, may do so without contributing to the shared costs of collective enfranchisement paid by their neighbours. In an extreme scenario, a leaseholder could choose to join a commonhold days after it is established to deliberately avoid contributing towards shared costs. The perceived risk of such a scenario may foster mistrust between leaseholders and undermine support for conversion to commonhold. (Conclusion, Paragraph 158)
