Stanwell Lease Extension Example Cases:

Jayden, Stanwell, North London

Last October Jayden, came critically near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his purpose- built flat in Stanwell. Having purchased his home two decades ago, the lease term was of minimal significance. Fortunately, it dawned on him that he would soon be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Jayden extended the lease at the eleventh hour last August. Jayden and the freeholder in the end agreed on a premium of £5,000 . If the lease had descended below eighty years, the premium would have become more costly by a minimum £1,050.

Stanwell case:

Mr and Mrs. R Parker took over the lease of a purpose-built apartment in Stanwell in July 1999. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable homes in Stanwell with a long lease were in the region of £254,200. The average amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced quarterly. The lease came to a finish on 6 October 2077. Considering the 51 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £43,700 and £50,600 exclusive of fees.
