520			_a[2003] EWCA Civil 545, 16 April 2003. Appeal by the freeholder (HDW) from a judgment granting a long leaseholder (C) entitlement to acquire the freehold under the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 of two adjacent houses, of which C owned the headlease. Until 1977 the two properties were separate when a communicating door was made through the party wall. HDW disputed C's right to acquire the freehold as the properties did not constitute a dwelling house within s1 of the Act, rather that the properties were two houses or one property divided vertically and thus excluded by s2(1)(b) of the Act. It was judged to be one house (see Abs65853) and HDW appealed. "Held": appeal dismissed. Following "Malekshad v Howard de Walden Estates Ltd " ([2002] UK HL49; Abs66268) the properties rightly constituted a house within the meaning of s2(1) and were not divided vertically in the manner contemplated by s2(1)(b).
