Mrs Holly Martinez completed a first floor apartment in Narborough in November 2000. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar flats in Narborough with an extended lease were worth £300,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease finished in 2102. Having 76 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £8,600 and £9,800 not including legals.
Last November we were contacted by Ms Natalie Rodríguez , who was assigned a lease of a recently refurbished flat in Narborough in August 2001.

The average ground rent payable was £65 billed quarterly. The lease elapsed on 23 March 2091.
