Laleham Lease Extension Example Cases:

Freddie, Laleham, North London,

Freddie owned a high value apartment in Laleham on the market with a lease of a little over 59 years left. Freddie informally approached his landlord a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent at the outset set at £100 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Freddie to exercise his statutory right. Freddie obtained expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable deal informally and readily saleable.

Laleham case:

Last Christmas we were e-mailed by Mrs Morgan Morgan , who was assigned a lease of a ground floor apartment in Laleham in January 2002. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would likely be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparable flats in Laleham with an extended lease were in the region of £232,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 billed every twelve months. The lease end date was on 5 August 2091. Considering the 65 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £13,300 and £15,400 not including professional charges.
