He said the Grosvenor Estate used a fairly simple formula based on the difference between the value of the lease when taken, in this instance 26/Jan/2006 and today's date plus the annualised ground rent for the same period which in this instance is neglible as it is deemed -peppercorn". I calculated the differerence on the lease cost as follows: 20 years (240 months) in 2006 cost 1.85M 1.85M divided by 240 = 7708 To date 41 months have expired which i.e. 7708 x 41 = 316,000. So my guess is they would like a figure of @ 300,000 to top this lease back up to 20 yrs. Ian told me that the Grosvenor Estate will only provide a formal quote to the actual lessee, so I will have to ask Paula's lawyer to do this in order to get an exact figure. However, given the state of the property market and the Grosvenor Estates currrent cash shortfall, I suspect they might accept an offer somewhere in the region of 225 - 245,000, maybe even less than that. I would start at 200K and see what happens. However we can pretty well guarantee that it will not be more than 316k. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in iust 2 easy steps!
