Part 3Determining the market value

13Collective enfranchisement: property other than relevant flats etc and appurtenant property

1

This paragraph applies only to a collective enfranchisement.

2

The requirement under paragraph 5(1) to use the standard valuation method applies only in relation to property comprised in the newly owned premises that is—

a

a relevant flat, or

b

appurtenant property leased with a relevant flat.

3

Accordingly, the standard valuation method is not compulsory for any other property comprised in the newly owned premises.

4

A flat is a “relevant flat” for the purposes of this paragraph if the flat is—

a

demised to a qualifying tenant, or

b

demised to a person who is not a qualifying tenant, but only because of section 5(5) and (6) of the LRHUDA 1993 (a person who is the tenant of three or more flats in the building).

5

But a flat is not a relevant flat if—

a

it, or any part of it, is demised by a lease which the nominee purchaser could acquire, but is not acquiring, under paragraph 2(5) of Schedule A1 to the LRHUDA 1993 (acquisition of intermediate leases);

b

it, or any part of it, is demised by a shared ownership lease.

6

Appurtenant property is “leased with” a relevant flat for the purposes of this paragraph if—

a

the appurtenant property and the relevant flat are leased under the same lease (including where, under section 7(6) of the LRHUDA 1993, two or more leases are treated as a single lease), and

b

by virtue of that lease, the tenant is a qualifying tenant or, but for the impediment referred to in sub-paragraph (4)(b), would be a qualifying tenant.

7

By virtue of paragraph 1(1)(c) of Schedule 6, the references in this paragraph to a flat, a qualifying tenant, appurtenant property or a shared ownership lease have the same meanings that they have in Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the LRHUDA 1993 (see, respectively, sections 101(1), 5, 1(7) and 101(1) of that Act).
