Latest Property Disputes Q&As

Q&As
Where an entity is registered proprietor of both a registered freehold and a registered lease, and the titles were not merged on acquisition (as there was no intention to merge at that stage)—can the entity decide to merge later and simply apply to HMLR on Form AP1 to close the leasehold title? If so, is it the case that the merger only takes effect at law and in equity on closure of the title, but then retrospectively takes effect from the date of the application to HMLR?—alternatively, can the entity enter into a deed of surrender in its capacities as both L and T (ending the lease in law and equity on completion) and then apply to HMLR to close the leasehold title?
