Lease extension: 57yrs. unexpired, low ground rent

27-02-2008, 23:14 PM

Hi everyone,

There seems to be lots of example calculations given on the forum on how to work out a reasonable premium for extending a lease - but unfortunately I cannot get my head around it.

Would anyone care to work out what the premium should be for my property?.

The relevant details that are needed I think are:-

unexpired term of current lease: 57 years
ground rent: £17.75 per year/increases to £22.05 in 2031
value of flat: £120K (this was purchase price in '07 but following my refurb is now more like £145K .. and more with a longer lease )

Many Thanks,
patrick

1) Capitalisation of the ground rent at 7.25% would equal approx = £250

2) Deferred value of the reversion at 5%. First need to establish what the flat would be worth with a long lease say £170k

£170k / (1.05^57) = £10,535

3) Marriage value: Relativity at 57 years can be in the range of 82% if we accept the decisions of the LVT over the last 10 years or 75% if the landlord is able to argue that the Savills graph of 1992 is correct (I think it is but the LVT do not support it nad this is of course rather important). We will assume 80%

£170k X (100% - 80%) = £34,000 less £250 less £10,535 = 23,215 X 50% = £11,608

Premium for a 90 year extension could be of the order of £250+£10,535+£11,608 = £22,393 the ground rent to be a peppercorn. In addition you would be liable for teh landlords valuation fee plus certain elements of his legal costs. Budget for another £1,000

Toilet overflows do not (usually) curve back to the wall, there is no need.
In fact most overflow into the pan unless it's a very old toilet with a seperate cistern.

Boiler overflows should curve back to the wall so that if the escaping water is hot it runs down the wall cooling as...

An external water leak via a very short inward-curving pipe from an upstairs maisonette (owned by a freeholder, but inhabited by rental tenants) is pouring water down the outside wall of my kitchen (I am a leaseholder).

This water is making its way into my internal kitchen wall, probably...

I suggest you lift up cover to the toilet water tank, to check if the water is escaping via the overflow pipe

When you send a bill to demand payment , you should state the exact amount you want .

Its no good to demand 66.66% and get paid 66%.

Hi, this may be an obvious question, but I own a share of the freehold in a Victorian house conversion. The split is 1/3 and 2/3 between the two freeholders. I have been sorting out the insurance and have billed the other freeholder for 2/3 but they say it should be 66%, which works out slightly cheaper....

Originally I had the entire freehold but this was split when I sold my flat. This lease says 66.66% as they have 2 floors. The basement lease, formed in 1984 says 1/3

Thanks, but such an incentive may land me in court!

The MA wants to wait for the Covid to clear so that an engineer can enter to fix the boiler, but I would like (in the immediate term) an external pipe fitted to channel this and any future water to the nearby drain hopper.

If they leave the filling loop on it's likely to break something in the boiler - can't remember what it is but my T did this and flooded the flat below. It's supposed to be a closed system and topped up to a certain pressure. It is often possible to isolate the water supply to the boiler which would...

The Director of the MA tells me that I cannot turn the water off if the property is inhabited (no reason given).

I checked this with the Fire Brigade - they say it would infringe upon human rights....
