Green v Westleigh Properties Limits [electronic resource]
- 2008
[2008] EWHC 1474 (QB) 27 June 2008. Despite a purchase notice being poorly drafted by a tenant wishing to purchase a landlord's revisionary notice in his property, it was not so poorly drafted that it would have confused a reasonable recipient and was therefore a valid purchase notice under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. Appellant G appealed against a judge's ruling that his application to purchase the revisionary interest in his property from the respondent landlord W was invalid. The ruling was made on the basis that the judge had made this decision as a result of errors and delays on the part of G in submitting the notice. Held: appeal allowed. The original decision was reversed, as the original judge should have taken account of the context around the notice to buy and that W could have been in no doubt that G and the other tenants involved wished to have the freehold interest in the premises transferred to them at that time.
