Its jurisdiction applied to England only. In Wales, the tribunal structure continues under the Residential Property Tribunal Wales system. Appeals from the FTT are dealt with by the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber). Notes that there have been a significant increase in leasehold enfranchisement applications and residential service charge and management disputes partially due a number of long leases granted in the 1960s 1970s and 1980s falling below the 80 years when it became more expensive to extend leases due to inclusion of marriage value.
