520 _aDescribes the case of Boss Holdings v Grosvenor West End Properties (L142656) which allowed the enfranchisement of a severely dilapidated mixed-use building originally built as a house. Discusses the likelihood of a rush of similar claims. A building had originally been built for residential purposes. It was subsequently used for mixed commercial and residential use, and then became dilapidated and unsuitable for habitation. Nevertheless the Lords found that it was still defined as a house by its original intended use. Notes that this should warn landlords not to become involved in complex enfranchisement proceedings fixed upon a historic valuation level.
