520 _a"Day and another v Hosebay Ltd; Howard de Walden Estates Ltd v Lexgorge Ltd" (see L150503) confirmed that companies which hold long leases of former houses can in certain circumstances buy the freehold to those buildings even though they have long since been converted to commercial use. CA affirmed that a building qualifies as a "house" within the meaning of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 s2 if it is "reasonably so called" and the fact that a building can be reasonably called something other than a house does not preclude it also reasonably being called a house. "Earl Cadogan and another v Panagopoulos and another" [2010] EWCA Civ 1259 is a recent setback to landlords resisting enfranchisement claims.
