Q&As
How does section 119 of the Building Safety Act 2022 apply to circumstances in which a leasehold flat within a relevant building is held on trust for the individual (beneficial owner)? In situations where a professional trustee is used that trustee is likely to be registered at HMLR as the legal owner of that lease and many other leasehold interests in relevant buildings—certainly totalling more than three. Will this simply mean that such leases held by a professional trustee will not be 'Qualifying Leases'?
