Ashrafi & Anor v Belmont Green Finance Ltd [2025] EWHC 3247 (Ch) (15 December 2025)
The High Court dismissed an appeal against a possession order, holding the appellants could not assert an overriding interest, invoke s.36 AJA 1970, or defeat the lender’s security by merger.
The High Court dismissed an appeal against a possession order over a mortgaged property, rejecting arguments on overriding interest, merger, s.36 AJA 1970, and unconscionability.
The court found that although assurances and reliance were established, Elfed did not suffer sufficient detriment to make it unconscionable for the Deceased to leave Yr Efail to Gareth. The relationship between Elfed and the Deceased was mutually beneficial, Elfed received substantial countervailing benefits, and the Deceased partially fulfilled his assurances by leaving other agricultural land to Elfed's family. The failure of the Company and Elfed's death were relevant circumstances. Therefore, no equity arose in favour of Elfed's estate and the proprietary estoppel counterclaim failed.

The court found that the deceased made repeated assurances to the claimant that he would inherit the farmland, that the claimant relied on these assurances to his detriment by devoting his working life to the farm and foregoing other opportunities, and that it would be unconscionable to deny him the farmland. However, the remedy is limited to the agricultural value of the land, excluding non-agricultural (quarry) value, to avoid an unintended windfall and to do justice between the parties.
