12/08/2020 - 51 Mockbeggar Drive, Wallasey - Ground Lease Freehold Sale ref: 4723 Recommendations Approved
The Council owns the freehold interest in the Mockbeggar Estate and the individual residential properties were originally occupied on ground leases for a term of 99 years from 1968 at a peppercorn rental. Under the provisions of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, lessees may have the right to extend the lease or acquire the freehold and as a consequence a large number of occupiers over the years have acquired the freehold interest in their properties from the Council.
The Council has received a request from the owners of the leasehold interest of 51 Mockbeggar Drive to purchase the freehold interest which is shown edged on the attached plan. Terms have provisionally been agreed for the sale in the sum of £4,500 plus a contribution of £1,100 towards the Council’s legal and surveyor’s fees.
The valuation is in accordance with the format outlined by the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 and is in keeping with similar transactions.

04/08/2020 - SEACOMBE FERRY TERMINAL - EUREKA ref: 4721 Recommendations Approved
To enable the development Merseytravel will be entering an agreement with Eureka which requires the remodelling of the former spaceport building along with the outside space including the car parks. Merseytravel has therefore asked to replace the two existing leases with new leases which would reflect their agreement with Eureka. This will require a variation of the lease areas which are shown on the attached plan, although the areas may be subject to some remodelling as part of the wider scheme. The new leases will remain at peppercorn rents and also need to be extended to 40 years to tie in with Merseytravel’s agreement with Eureka.
