Emersons Green case:

Last Christmas we were called by Dr Austin García , who was assigned a lease of a studio flat in Emersons Green in April 2002. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Identical properties in Emersons Green with an extended lease were valued about £285,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 invoiced yearly. The lease elapsed in 2097. Given that there were 71 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 plus costs.
