Amlwch case:

Last year we were approach by Ms Rachael Martin , who purchased a ground floor apartment in Amlwch in May 2007. The question was if we could estimate the price would be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Similar flats in Amlwch with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £205,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease finished in 2105. Considering the 79 years outstanding we calculated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £8,600 and £9,800 not including expenses.

Amlwch case:

Last year we were e-mailed by Mrs Sophia Davies , who took over the lease of a recently refurbished apartment in Amlwch in May 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative residencies in Amlwch with a long lease were in the region of £275,000. The average amount of ground rent was £65 collected quarterly. The lease lapsed in 2094. Considering the 68 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £13,300 and £15,400 exclusive of costs.
