The Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP) has voted in two new Advisory Committee members.

The move is designed to further strengthens the organisation’s governance and sector experience.

At the ALEP AGM, Anna Favre, partner at law firm Cripps Pemberton Greenish and Henrietta Hammonds from valuers Beckett and Kay were elected as new Advisory Committee members.

At the AGM both Eleanor Murray and David Robson were also re-elected for a further term.

Mark Chick, ALEP director, said: “This year we had an unprecedented number of nominations from members to join the Advisory Committee, which is a great sign of a thriving organisation. All the nominees were extremely high calibre and we are very excited to have Anna and Henrietta join the committee.

“I have no doubt they will bring additional enthusiasm, experience and expertise to the Association.”

Favre is a specialist enfranchisement and residential landlord and tenant solicitor with over 14 years’ experience.

She said: “I am passionate about this area of the law and honoured to be part of the ALEP committee and feel confident that I can add significant value to the role.”

Hammonds (pictured) is a RICS Registered Valuer and a partner at Beckett and Kay, which specialises in landlord and tenant valuation, including leasehold enfranchisement.

She said: “I am delighted to have been elected by the ALEP membership and look forward to my further involvement with the organisation.”

Anna Bailey, ALEP director, added: “It is fantastic to see two talented practitioners come through to join the committee and particularly pleasing that they are both highly experienced women who are making big waves in the enfranchisement sector.

“I look forward to working with both to continue to grow ALEP’s membership, influence and impact.”
