Austin was the the leasehold owner of a high value flat in Penkridge being sold with a lease of a little over 61 years unexpired. Austin on an informal basis approached his landlord a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was keen to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent to start with set at £150 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Austin to exercise his statutory right. Austin procured expert legal guidance and was able to make a more informed judgement and deal with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
