Last Christmas Charlie, started to get close to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his two bedroom flat in Sudbury. In buying his home 18 years ago, the lease term was of no significance. Fortunately, it dawned on him that he would imminently be paying way over the odds for a lease extension. Charlie extended the lease just under the wire in May. Charlie and the freeholder via the managing agents ultimately agreed on the final figure of £5,500 . If the lease had dipped to less than eighty years, the figure would have gone up by a minimum £1,050.
Mrs I Jones completed a first floor flat in Sudbury in October 2003. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar homes in Sudbury with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £257,800. The average amount of ground rent was £65 collected yearly. The lease came to a finish in 2091. Having 65 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £18,100 and £20,800 exclusive of expenses.
