Tenure
The property is held by way of a long leasehold interest, under title number TGL195726, from 2ndNovember 2001 for 150 years, at a peppercorn rent, with approximately 125 years to lease expiry.
The property occupies a site of approximately 0.18 acres (0.07 hectares).
The Freehold of the property is owned by Legal & General, who granted an overriding lease to Sanctuary Housing Association (SHA). SHA are therefore the immediate Landlord.
The lease allows the Landlord (SHA) to buy back the ground and first floors, between September and December 2030. In our view this right is highly unlikely to be exercised, but in the event it is the terms of the buy-back are considered highly favourable to the leaseholder. Further details can be provided upon request.
