After lengthy negotiations with the freeholder of her ground floor apartment in Manor Park, Jasmine initiated the lease extension process just as her lease was nearing the all-important 80-year threshold. The transaction was concluded in March 2013. The landlord’s costs were restricted to about 600 pounds.

Manor Park case:

In 2013 we were called by Mr Ethan Campbell who, having owned a newly refurbished apartment in Manor Park in November 1996. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price would be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparative homes in Manor Park with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £275,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 invoiced every twelve months. The lease elapsed on 3 April 2102. Given that there were 76 years left we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
