Last October Austin, started to get close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his ground floor flat in Mynydd Isa. In buying his home 19 years ago, the lease term was of minimal significance. Fortunately, he realised he would imminently be paying way over the odds for Extending the lease. Austin was able to extend his lease at the eleventh hour last July. Austin and the freeholder via the management company in the end agreed on a premium of £5,500 . If he not met the deadline, the premium would have increased by at least £1,125.

We are asked if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a ninety year lease extension. Identical premises in Mynydd Isa with 100 year plus lease were worth £260,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 billed every twelve months. The lease terminated in 2098. Having 72 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including professional charges.
