The Home Office’s guidance document Sponsor a Scale-up worker provides at para SC2.3 that ‘[i]f you already hold a valid licence to sponsor workers, you can apply to add the Scale-up route to that licence’. It points readers to the general guidance on adding licences in other routes at section L10 of Sponsor Guidance Part 1: Apply for a licence.

If the landlord is in breach of the covenant to repair and as a result the tenant has suffered loss, they are entitled to compensation in the form of damages. When determining the quantum of an award of damages, the court will attempt to place the tenant in the position they would have been in, if their landlord had performed the repairing covenants properly. Unfortunately, the assessment of general damages in a disrepair case is more of an art than a science, which cannot be predicted with any satisfactory degree of accuracy. Each case will turn on its own specific facts and the surrounding circumstances. The variation of any one of a number of factors can have a dramatic effect on the quantum awarded. Relevant factors include the number of rooms affected by the disrepair within a property, the particular vulnerability of the tenant and how much time they spend

Assuming the easement is a legal easement, it can be registered by way of a caution against first registration (and if the dominant land is registered, by registering the benefit of the easement on the dominant title).

Registration of a legal easement where the servient land is unregistered The grant of the easement in itself does not trigger compulsory first registration of the servient land, however, if the grant may form part of registerable transaction, for example if it was granted within a transfer or part or the lease with more than seven years left to run (section 4(1) and 4(2) of the Land Registration Act 2002 (LRA 2002)).

On first registration of the servient land, HM Land Registry must note the burden of any legal easements affecting the land contained
