Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002

24 Changing size: charged unit E+W

(1) This section applies to an amendment of a commonhold community statement which redefines the extent of a commonhold unit over which there is a registered charge.

(2) The amendment may not be made unless the registered proprietor of the charge consents—

(a) in writing, and

(b) before the amendment is made.

(3) But regulations may enable a court to dispense with the requirement for consent on the application of a commonhold association in prescribed circumstances.

(4) If the amendment removes land from the commonhold unit, the charge shall by virtue of this subsection be extinguished to the extent that it relates to the land which is removed.

(5) If the amendment adds land to the unit, the charge shall by virtue of this subsection be extended so as to relate to the land which is added.

(6) Regulations may make provision—

(a) requiring notice to be given to the Registrar in circumstances to which this section applies;

(b) requiring the Registrar to alter the register to reflect the application of subsection (4) or (5).
