Kidwelly Lease Extension Case Summaries:

Milo, Kidwelly, Ammanford,

Milo owned a studio apartment in Kidwelly on the market with a lease of fraction over fifty eight years unexpired. Milo informally approached his freeholder a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £200 per annum and increase every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Milo to invoke his statutory right. Milo obtained expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable resolution informally and readily saleable.

Kidwelly case:

Last month we were called by Mr William Morgan , who bought a purpose-built apartment in Kidwelly in February 1999. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium could be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Similar residencies in Kidwelly with an extended lease were in the region of £280,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 collected every twelve months. The lease lapsed in 2104. Considering the 78 years left we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £13,300 and £15,400 plus professional charges.

Kidwelly case:

Dr O Garcia moved into a purpose-built flat in Kidwelly in January 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar flats in Kidwelly with a long lease were in the region of £191,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 collected yearly. The lease termination date was on 26 April 2084. Given that there were 58 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £23,800 and £27,400 plus costs.
