DUCHY LEASEHOLD GUIDANCE NOTES

______________________

1.    These leases are with the Duchy of Cornwall.

2.    It is not possible to have a mortgage on a Duchy Leasehold property because the leases are too short.

3.    The majority of Duchy of Cornwall leases have been structured in such a way that upon the expiry of the initial fixed term (the contractual lease), the agreement will continue by virtue of the protection afforded by the Housing Act 1988 or the Rent Act 1977.  Typically, the terms of the contractual lease will continue as a protected annual tenancy with potentially perpetual security.

4.    At the issue of a new lease there will be a sum payable to the Duchy of Cornwall which will be equivalent to 50% of  the expected up lift in value of the property with the new lease.  As a rough guide, it is likely that this uplift would equate to approximately 10% of the full leasehold value of the property with the new 20 year lease. EXAMPLE: A zero year lease may be worth £250,000 and a new 20 year  lease may increase the value to £275,000. Therefore the new lease would cost £12,500.

5.    In addition to the premium asked which is payable to the existing tenant, annual rent must also be paid to the Duchy and this is subject to review periodically.

5.    The leases are all full repairing.

THE PROPERTY

1 St Cherries is a spacious and bright cottage built of stone and cob and recently completely re-roofed.  It has generous accommodation throughout which has been enhanced by the recently built entrance lobby and shower room on the ground floor enabling a redesign of some of the accommodation to create larger and more attractive spaces.  The property enjoys glorious southerly views across the countryside to the moor and is fortunate to have large windows letting in plenty of natural light.  The three bedrooms comprise two large doubles and a good twin and there is a very pleasant upstairs bathroom as well.  On the ground floor both the sitting room and dining room are big, the kitchen is very well fitted and there is a separate utility room.  The garden is mostly laid to lawn with flower borders and an open aspect to the views.  There is parking at the front of the house and separate parking by arrangement close by.

SITUATION

1 St Cherries is in a rural setting and in an elevated position with glorious southerly views across countryside to Dartmoor.  The village of Spreyton is less than a mile away where there is a village shop, village hall, sports field, primary school, parish church and pub.  There is access to countryside walks surrounding St Cherries and the A30 dual carriageway is just 2 miles by road and Exeter is approximately 18 miles.
