The subject premises comprises a former house which is converted into two 1-bedroom apartments plus a new build block of apartments comprising four 1-bedroom apartments. Total six apartments.
Five of the six apartments have seen their ground leases extended to 999 years with a peppercorn ground rental. One apartment has seen their ground lease extended to 125 years from 2020 paying £150 per annum ground rent.
