Last Summer we were phoned by Mr D Flores , who acquired a garden apartment in Talsarnau in October 2006. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative residencies in Talsarnau with a long lease were valued about £267,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 collected yearly. The lease expiry date was in 2093. Having 67 years left we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £14,300 and £16,400 not including professional charges.
Ms Catherine Harris purchased a one bedroom flat in Talsarnau in February 1996. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative properties in Talsarnau with an extended lease were in the region of £206,200. The average ground rent payable was £60 invoiced every twelve months. The lease ended on 18 June 2082. Given that there were 56 years as a residual term we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus costs.
