Cameron was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio apartment in Abersychan being marketed with a lease of just over sixty years outstanding. Cameron informally approached his freeholder a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £125 per annum. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Cameron to invoke his statutory right. Cameron procured expert legal guidance and secured satisfactory resolution informally and readily saleable.
In 2011 we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. B Clarke who, having took over the lease of a first floor flat in Abersychan in September 1997. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by 90 years. Comparable residencies in Abersychan with a long lease were worth £265,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease ran out on 8 April 2099. Having 73 years left we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including expenses.

The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 billed annually. The lease concluded on 3 October 2079.
