Court of Appeal confirms what a "self contained building" is for enfranchisment purposes

In the case before the Court, a mansion block containing eight sub-blocks of 20 flats could enfranchise as “part of a building” even though each block could be further divided into groups of 10 flats.  Providing the proposed enfranchised “part of a building” is self-contained within the meaning of Section 3 of the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, the building qualifies for a freehold purchase by the leaseholders.
