The appellant leaseholder (M) claimed the right as a long leaseholder under the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 to acquire freehold of a property comprising of flats and shops. The respondent freeholder (E) claimed the building did not qualify for leasehold enfranchisement since it was not a house within the meaning of s2(1). "Held" appeal dismissed. A building constructed, laid out and used as a block of substantial self-contained flats could not reasonably called a house.
