On the Case: Enfranchisement and LM Homes

Kerry Glanville, partner at Cripps Pemberton Greenish, analyses the recent Court of Appeal decision in LM Homes v Queen Court Freehold Company [2020] EWCA Civ 371; [2020] PLSCS 41 - a case which raised the question whether airspace above and subsoil below a building falls within "common parts" for the purposes of the enfranchisement legislation in the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993.

 

Glanville explains the court's decision and why she believes it is a significant case.
