Amendments (Textual)

F1 Words in Sch. 13 para. 7 substituted (26.7.2002 for E. and 1.1.2003 for W.) by Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 (c. 15), s. 134; S.I. 2002/1912, art. 2(b)(i) (subject to Sch. 2); S.I. 2002/3012, art. 2(b)(i) (subject to Sch. 2)

Value of intermediate interests E+W

8 (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), paragraph 3(2) to (6) shall apply for determining the value of any intermediate leasehold interest for the purposes of any provision of this Schedule with such modifications as are appropriate to relate those provisions of paragraph 3 to a sale of the interest in question subject to the tenant’s lease for the time being and to any leases intermediate between the interest in question and that lease. E+W

(2) The value of an intermediate leasehold interest which is the interest of the tenant under a minor intermediate lease shall be calculated by applying the formula set out in sub-paragraph (6) instead of in accordance with sub-paragraph (1).

(3) “A minor intermediate lease” means a lease complying with the following requirements, namely—

(a) it must have an expectation of possession of not more than one month, and

(b) the profit rent in respect of the lease must be not more than £5 per year.

(4) “Profit rent” means an amount equal to that of the rent payable under the lease on which the minor intermediate lease is in immediate reversion, less that of the rent payable under the minor intermediate lease.

(5) Where the minor intermediate lease or that on which it is in immediate reversion comprises property other than the tenant’s flat, then in sub-paragraph (4) the reference to the rent payable under it means so much of that rent as is apportioned to that flat.

(6) The formula is—

where—

• P = the price payable;

• R = the profit rent;

• Y = the yield (expressed as a decimal fraction) from 2½ per cent. Consolidated Stock;

• n = the period, expressed in years (taking any part of a year as a whole year), of the remainder of the term of the minor intermediate lease as at [F2 the relevant date].

(7) In calculating the yield from 2½ per cent. Consolidated Stock, the price of that stock shall be taken to be the middle market price at the close of business on the last trading day in the week before [F2 the relevant date] .

(8) For the purposes of this paragraph the expectation of possession carried by a lease is the expectation which it carries at [F2 the relevant date] of possession after the tenant’s lease, on the basis that—

(a) (subject to sub-paragraph (9)) the tenant’s lease terminates at [F2 the relevant date] if its term date fell before then, or else it terminates on its term date; and

(b) any other lease terminates on its term date.

(9) In a case where before the relevant date for the purposes of this Chapter the immediate landlord of the tenant had given notice to quit terminating the tenant’s lease on a date earlier than that date, the date specified in the notice to quit shall be substituted for the date specified in sub-paragraph (8)(a) above.

(a) the amount by which the value of the landlord’s interest in the flat will be so diminished is the diminution in value of that interest as determined for the purposes of paragraph 2(a); and
