This podcast is about the statutory entitlement of certain tenants to a lease extension or to buy the freehold, under the 1967 and 1993 Leasehold Reform Acts, and its expansion in recent years, particularly due to the removal of the requirement for the tenant to have occupied the premises as his home. Discusses especially in the light of some recent developments in case law, the consequences of this expansion: including the possibilities opened up for head-tenants and investors, and associated problems raised; and even its apparent impact on the definition of a ‘house’.
