CA 23 May 2001. Lessee (A) served a notice on landlord (B) under Leasehold Reform Act 1967 claiming to acquire the freehold. The property consisted of a terraced residential building and a mews cottage. Until the 1970s the two buildings had been linked by a basement. Between 1970 and 1977 this access between the two was physically obstructed. The judge ruled that the buildings could not reasonably be called a single house under Leasehold Reform Act 1967 s2. In addition, due to the existence of a basement under each building, there was a material part that lay below part of the structure not comprised in each house. A appealed. Appeal allowed. Held that the property remained a single house for the purposes of the 1967 Act.
