Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024

Prospective

Provision to be construed as one with existing enfranchisement legislation E+W

1 (1) Schedules 4 and 5 and this Schedule are to be construed as one—

(a) with Part 1 of the LRA 1967 in their application to the transfer of freehold houses under the LRA 1967 (and here the reference to Part 1 of the LRA 1967 is a reference to that legislation as it applies to the transfer of freehold houses);

(b) with Part 1 of the LRA 1967 in their application to the grant of extended leases of houses under the LRA 1967 (and here the reference to Part 1 of the LRA 1967 is a reference to that legislation as it applies to the grant of extended leases);

(c) with Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the LRHUDA 1993 in their application to collective enfranchisements of buildings under the LRHUDA 1993;

(d) with Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the LRHUDA 1993 in their application to the grant of new leases of flats under the LRHUDA 1993.

(2) But in the case of a deemed single lease—

(a) there is not to be a single term date for the deemed single lease (as would otherwise be the case in accordance with section 3(6) of the LRA 1967 or section 7(6) of the LRHUDA 1993);

(b) instead, each constituent lease has its own term date (and sub-paragraph (1) applies for the purpose of giving the meaning of “term date” here).
