Hello Folks, I am in the process of completing the Leaseholder deed of certificate and I need some help.

On question 1 of the qualifying lease criteria, I am confused, about whether additional properties purchased in Limited company should be considered.

Here is my situation –
1 Leasehold BTL purchased from builder in 2017
1 Freehold Main residence
2 freehold properties were purchased in 2020 and 2021 in a LTD Company Structure.

For the purpose of deed certificate, do I need to consider the property purchased in Limited company?

Is it correct for me to select this option in the form – The dwelling was owned by me at the beginning of 14th February 2022, was not my only or principal home on that date, and on that date I owned no more than two dwellings in the United Kingdom in addition to the dwelling.

A table containing the information and evidence required to complete a leaseholder deed of certificate can be found on the mandatory information required from leaseholders and current landlords page.
