by sgclacy

I think I have found the answer:-

Hague - Leasehold Enfranchisement (seventh edition) at 24-01

It is considered that to be a participating tenant, the lessee must be registered at the HM Land Registry as proprietor of the lease at the relevant date

The note...

collective enfranchisement

by flyingfreehold

Does a leaseholder have to be a registered proprietor to join a collective? Or is it sufficient for her/his/it to be a transferee whose interest is not yet registered?

Section 20

by Anna1985

So the lease allows for the property to be kept in good condition.
Thus, the shared hall could be spruced up no problem, but there is an issue with driveway - partially it belongs to the freeholder, partially to the ground floor leaseholder - it is made out of the old paving stones, it looks...

Building works & S20 process

by RichA

Reply to Building works & S20 process

by RichA

If the work is 'contracted' by the leaseholders rather than the freeholder does that remove the requirement for a S20?

at risk of answering my own question, the leaseholder has to prove title which is a bit difficult if not registered........
