(1)Subject to [F2 subsections (2) and (3)], the purchase price of the fee simple being acquired under this Act shall be the amount which, at the date on which the notice is served under section 2, the land, if sold in the open market by a willing seller (with the lessee in possession not buying or seeking to buy), might be expected to realise on the following assumptions—

(b)on the assumption that (subject to paragraph ( a) above) the vendor was selling subject, in respect of rent-charges and other rents, to the same annual charge as the conveyance to the lessee is to be subject to, but the purchaser would otherwise be effectively exonerated until the termination of the lease from any liability or charge in respect of incumbrances; and
