Last Autumn we were e-mailed by Mr Callum Adams , who purchased a studio flat in Milton Keynes Village in May 1998. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative properties in Milton Keynes Village with an extended lease were in the region of £166,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced every twelve months. The lease ended in 2075. Taking into account 50 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £32,300 and £37,400 not including fees.
