Eliot owned a high value apartment in Rhosesmor being marketed with a lease of a few days over fifty eight years unexpired. Eliot on an informal basis approached his freeholder being a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years subject to an increased rent to £100 annually. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Eliot to invoke his statutory right. Eliot obtained expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable resolution informally and sell the flat.
In 2013 we were called by Mrs Stephanie Morel who, having completed a ground floor apartment in Rhosesmor in January 1996. We are asked if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar properties in Rhosesmor with a long lease were worth £174,200. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £55 billed quarterly. The lease lapsed on 24 November 2077. Considering the 51 years as a residual term we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £31,400 and £36,200 not including professional charges.
In 2011 we were e-mailed by Ms Y Thompson who, having was assigned a lease of a one bedroom flat in Rhosesmor in October 2007. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Similar premises in Rhosesmor with a long lease were in the region of £285,000. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed every twelve months. The lease ran out in 2097. Considering the 71 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of professional charges.
