Dexter owned a 2 bedroom apartment in Kelvedon being marketed with a lease of a few days over 59 years outstanding. Dexter on an informal basis contacted his landlord being a well known Manchester-based freehold company for a lease extension. The freeholder was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £200 yearly. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Dexter to invoke his statutory right. Dexter obtained expert advice and was able to make an informed judgement and handle with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
Last year we were approach by Mrs Sophia Miller , who was assigned a lease of a garden flat in Kelvedon in April 1999. The dilemma was if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable premises in Kelvedon with an extended lease were worth £225,400. The average amount of ground rent was £45 billed per annum. The lease ran out on 2 May 2090. Given that there were 64 years outstanding we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £15,200 and £17,600 plus fees.
