Twinsectra Ltd v Jones
Twinsectra Ltd v Jones
- 1998
- Estates Gazette (1998) 23 EG 134-143(10) .
LT 27 May 1998. In a previous case "Kay-Green v Twinsectra Ltd" (1996) (Abs55835) the validity of a purchase notice served by the appellant landlords (T) was upheld in repsect of buildings divided into flats. These flats were held on long leases with rights over gardens and amenity land in favour of the landlords but in 1993 T served notices terminating these rights. In 1997 the LVT determined the price payable for the freeholds at £100,165, see "Kay-Green v Twinsectra Ltd" (1997) Abs57169). The landlord appealed on the grounds that the freeholds should not have been valued on the basis of the tenats holding perpetual rights over the garden and land. The nominated oerson also contended that the LVT was wrong to include the vacant possession value of a flat which had become vacant on the death of a regulated tenant after the service of the pruchase notice. Both appeals were dismissed.
