Finley owned a conversion apartment in Hyde on the market with a lease of just over sixty years remaining. Finley on an informal basis contacted his landlord being a well known local-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent at the outset set at £100 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Finley to exercise his statutory right. Finley obtained expert advice and secured an acceptable deal informally and ending up with a market value flat.
Ms B Clark moved into a recently refurbished apartment in Hyde in June 2002. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Similar residencies in Hyde with an extended lease were in the region of £270,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced every twelve months. The lease terminated in 2094. Having 68 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including costs.
Last Spring we were phoned by Mrs Sophia Garcia , who owned a recently refurbished apartment in Hyde in April 2010. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would likely be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Similar residencies in Hyde with a long lease were valued about £208,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 collected monthly. The lease concluded on 8 May 2083. Considering the 57 years as a residual term we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £30,400 and £35,200 not including expenses.
