Smith v Land and House Property Corporation (1884) LR 28 Ch D 7 is an English contract law case, concerning misrepresentation.

It holds that a statement of opinion can represent that one knows certain facts, and therefore one may have still made a misrepresentation.

Land and House Property Corp (LHP) contracted with Mr. Smith to buy the freehold title of the Marine Hotel at Walton-on-the-Naze.

Mr. Smith had advertised that it was let to Mr. Fleck, a most desirable tenant.Land and House agreed to buy the Hotel.

Land and House Property Corp. refused to complete the transaction, defending Smith's specific performance suit on the basis that the description of Fleck's "virtues" was grounds for misrepresentation.
