Karen Brown

Chartered Legal Executive – Commercial Property

Karen has worked at THP for approximately 20 years and has specialist expertise in leasehold property, specifically Collective Enfranchisement, Lease Extensions, Right of First Refusal and Right to Manage.

Her expertise is recognised by THP Solicitor’s membership of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP), and Karen acts on behalf of both Landlords and Tenants during statutory and non-statutory lease extensions and enfranchisement matters.

Karen advises individual leaseholders but is also regularly contacted by groups of leaseholders requesting collective representation in enfranchisement matters, or by those wishing to be represented by the same solicitor in their individual leasehold negotiations, as this can speed up the process. She enjoys helping leaseholders understand this complex area of law as many leaseholders only have to delve into it when faced with the prospect of their lease term being low; they wish to own the freehold; or control the management of their properties.

Karen is also pleased to have many landlord clients return to her with their lease extensions, entrusting her to progress the matters quickly and efficiently.

As well as enfranchisement, Karen has many years of experience in dealing with commercial property transactions acting for landlords or tenants in granting or taking commercial leases, selling and purchasing commercial units and dealing with a range of local businesses to help them through these transactions.

Some recent matters that Karen has dealt with:-

  • Acting for a large group of over 80 leaseholders extending their leases in a prominent building in Reading’s town centre.
  • Granting a number of commercial leases for a returning landlord client with properties in Henely and the surrounding area.
  • Acting for a number of commercial tenants taking leases in a popular business estate in Crowthorne.
    Valued for her approachable style, Karen has an ability to explain complex legal issues so that her clients feel informed and confident in their decisions.

Karen is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (FCILEx), qualifying in 2015.

“I just wanted to express my thanks to Karen for all her work in bringing my lease extension process to a successful conclusion. I appreciate it was a difficult case requiring more effort than is typical for a transaction of this type. Thank you for your very professional and courteous service.”
