Crumpton and others v Unifox Properties Ltd and another

Crumpton and others v Unifox Properties Ltd and another - 1992 - Estates Gazette 1992 46 EG 105-108(4) .

CA 27 February 1992. Appeal against a CC decision establishing C`s entitlement to purchase a freehold reversion of a residential property converted to flats, under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 Part I. Six changes of ownership between 1988 and 1990 are highly relevant to the case. The freehold is currently owned by the second respondent De Alnie Property Holdings Ltd purchased from the first respondent Unifox Properties Ltd in September 1990. The applicants accepted that there was no right of appeal against the tenants` entitlement to purchase the freehold but questioned the price at which the CC ordered the freehold to be transfered to the company founded by the tenants. CA upheld the CC`s decision in refusing to grant an adjourment to allow D to prepare valuation evidence. Appeal dismissed.
