Multiple Dwellings

[Nigel Hollinshead]

A client is buying 3 flats, each with a leasehold term of 999 years. The flats are occupied under ASTs. The transactions are “linked” for Sec 108 purposes. I argue that Sch 6B applies to afford some relief. I argue the transaction falls under Para 2(3). No superior interest is being acquired (so Para 2(6) doesn’t apply) and the “main subject matter” is the acquisition of a defined “dwelling”. Also Para 2(4) isn’t relevant. Does anyone disagree?
