Dr Georgina Hill took over the lease of a recently refurbished apartment in Mickleover in November 1999. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar properties in Mickleover with an extended lease were valued about £267,600. The average amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced yearly. The lease termination date was on 22 April 2093. Having 67 years as a residual term we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £14,300 and £16,400 plus professional charges.
