Rickmansworth case:

Dr Ibrahim Howard owned a ground floor flat in Rickmansworth in July 2012. The dilemma was if we could approximate the price could be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical homes in Rickmansworth with a long lease were in the region of £280,000. The average amount of ground rent was £55 invoiced per annum. The lease came to a finish in 2104. Given that there were 78 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 not including costs.
