(b)any leasehold interest in the relevant premises or in any such property which is superior to that of the tenant’s immediate landlord.
(3)Any qualifying tenant of a flat may give to the person who owns the freehold of the relevant premises a notice requiring him to give the tenant (so far as known to him) the name and address of every person, apart from the tenant, who is—
(a)a tenant of the whole of the relevant premises, or
(b)a tenant or licensee of any separate set or sets of premises contained in the relevant premises, or
(c)a tenant or licensee of the whole or any part of any common parts so contained or of any property not so contained—
(i)which is demised by the lease held by a qualifying tenant of a flat contained in the relevant premises, or
(ii)which any such qualifying tenant is entitled under the terms of his lease to use in common with other persons.
(4)Any such qualifying tenant may also give—
(a)to the person who owns the freehold of the relevant premises, or
(b)to any person falling within subsection (3)(a), (b) or (c),
a notice requiring him to give the tenant—
(i)such information relating to his interest in the relevant premises or (as the case may be) in any such property as is mentioned in subsection (3)(c), or
(ii)(so far as known to him) such information relating to any interest derived (whether directly or indirectly) out of that interest,
as is specified in the notice, where the information is reasonably required by the tenant in connection with the making of a claim to exercise the right to collective enfranchisement in relation to the whole or part of the relevant premises.
(5)Where a notice is given by a qualifying tenant under subsection (4), the following rights shall be exercisable by him in relation to the recipient of the notice, namely—
(a)a right, on giving reasonable notice, to be provided with a list of documents to which subsection (6) applies;

(c)a right, on payment of a reasonable fee, to be provided with a copy of any documents which are contained in any list provided under paragraph (a) or have been inspected under paragraph (b).
(6)This subsection applies to any document in the custody or under the control of the recipient of the notice under subsection (4)—
(a)sight of which is reasonably required by the qualifying tenant in connection with the making of such a claim as is mentioned in that subsection; and
(b)which, on a proposed sale by a willing seller to a willing buyer of the recipient’s interest in the relevant premises or (as the case may be) in any such property as is mentioned in subsection (3)(c), the seller would be expected to make available to the buyer (whether at or before contract or completion).
(7)Any person who—
(a)is required by a notice under any of subsections (1) to (4) to give any information to a qualifying tenant, or
(b)is required by a qualifying tenant under subsection (5) to supply any list of documents, to permit the inspection of any documents or to supply a copy of any documents,

(8)Where—
(a)a person has received a notice under subsection (4), and
(b)within the period of six months beginning with the date of receipt of the notice, he—
(i)disposes of any interest (whether legal or equitable) in the relevant premises otherwise than by the creation of an interest by way of security for a loan, or
(ii)acquires any such interest (otherwise than by way of security for a loan),
then (unless that disposal or acquisition has already been notified to the qualifying tenant in accordance with subsection (7)) he shall notify the qualifying tenant of that disposal or acquisition within the period of 28 days beginning with the date when it occurred.
(9)In this section—
“document” has the same meaning as in PartI of the M1Civil Evidence Act 1968;
“the relevant premises”, in relation to any qualifying tenant of a flat, means—
if the person who owns the freehold interest in the flat owns the freehold of the whole of the building in which the flat is contained, that building, or
if that person owns the freehold of part only of that building, that part of that building;
and any reference to an interest in the relevant premises includes an interest in part of those premises.
