Oliver and the landlord who owned the flat above ultimately settled on a premium of £5,000 . If he not met the deadline, the price would have escalated by at least £1,125.
Mr and Mrs. L Murphy purchased a one bedroom flat in Denham in June 2007. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease.

Considering the 63 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £20,000 and £23,000 plus costs.
