Mr and Mrs. Y Ward owned a first floor flat in Ingleby Barwick in January 2002. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would likely be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable premises in Ingleby Barwick with a long lease were in the region of £166,400. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 billed every twelve months. The lease expired on 11 July 2080. Considering the 54 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £32,300 and £37,400 plus expenses.
