Daniel owned a conversion apartment in North Hykeham being sold with a lease of just over fifty eight years left. Daniel informally contacted his freeholder being a well known Bristol-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 on the basis of a new rent initially set at £100 per annum and increase every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Daniel to exercise his statutory right. Daniel procured expert advice and secured satisfactory deal without resorting to tribunal and sell the flat.
