SGL 1 Limited (Appellant) v FSV Freeholders Limited (Respondent)
Tuesday 03 March 2026
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 18 February 2025 the appellant appeals the decision of the High Court (Business and Property Courts) dated 8 January 2025.
The case concerned whether four residential blocks (A, B, C and E) within a single Everton development constituted one “building” under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.
The High Court held that all four blocks formed a single “building” for the purposes of the Act, rendering both notices invalid. The decisive factor was the shared means of access, which strongly indicated that the blocks operated as one integrated whole.
As a result, SGL1 Ltd.’s claim for declaratory relief was dismissed.
