Thomas was the the leasehold proprietor of a high value apartment in Long Itchington on the market with a lease of just over sixty years left. Thomas informally contacted his landlord a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent at the outset set at £100 per annum and increase every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Thomas to exercise his statutory right. Thomas obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make a more informed decision and handle with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
