<h5> Oscar, Anlaby, East Yorkshire,</h5>
<p>
Oscar was the the leasehold proprietor of a high value apartment in Anlaby being marketed with a lease of fraction over 61 years outstanding. Oscar on an informal basis approached his freeholder being a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £200 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Oscar to invoke his statutory right. Oscar obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make a more informed judgement and handle with the matter and readily saleable.
<h5>Anlaby case:</h5>
<p>
Last Autumn we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. D Harris , who
purchased a first floor flat in Anlaby in March 1995. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would likely be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparative flats in Anlaby with 100 year plus lease were worth £208,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 billed annually. The lease concluded in 2083. Taking into account 57 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £30,400 and £35,200 exclusive of expenses.
<h5>Anlaby case:</h5>
<p> Ms K Flores was assigned a lease of a recently refurbished apartment in Anlaby in June 2002. We are asked if we could estimate the premium would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative properties in Anlaby with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £200,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease terminated in 2103. Having 77 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional charges.
