Kineton case:

Mr and Mrs. G Martinez was assigned a lease of a first floor apartment in Kineton in January 2011. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparative flats in Kineton with an extended lease were worth £166,400. The average ground rent payable was £60 collected monthly. The lease ended in 2080. Having 54 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £32,300 and £37,400 plus professional charges.

Mr and Mrs. G Allen completed a basement apartment in Kineton in November 2012. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price would likely be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Comparable properties in Kineton with a long lease were valued around £227,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 collected monthly. The lease concluded in 2091. Taking into account 65 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 exclusive of professional charges.
