3(1)Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, the value of the freeholder’s interest in the specified premises is the amount which at the valuation date that interest might be expected to realise if sold on the open market by a willing seller (with neither the nominee purchaser nor any participating tenant buying or seeking to buy) on the following assumptions—
(a)on the assumption that the vendor is selling for an estate in fee simple—
(i)subject to any leases subject to which the freeholder’s interest in the premises is to be acquired by the nominee purchaser, but
(ii)subject also to any intermediate or other leasehold interests in the premises which are to be acquired by the nominee purchaser;
(b)on the assumption that this Chapter and Chapter II confer no right to acquire any interest in the specified premises or to acquire any new lease (except that this shall not preclude the taking into account of a notice given under section 42 with respect to a flat contained in the specified premises where it is given by a person other than a participating tenant);
(c)on the assumption that any increase in the value of any flat held by a participating tenant which is attributable to an improvement carried out at his own expense by the tenant or by any predecessor in title is to be disregarded; and
(d)on the assumption that (subject to paragraphs (a) and (b)) the vendor is selling with and subject to the rights and burdens with and subject to which the conveyance to the nominee purchaser of the freeholder’s interest is to be made, and in particular with and subject to such permanent or extended rights and burdens as are to be created in order to give effect to Schedule 7.
(2)It is hereby declared that the fact that sub-paragraph (1) requires assumptions to be made as to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) of that sub-paragraph does not preclude the making of assumptions as to other matters where those assumptions are appropriate for determining the amount which at the valuation date the freeholder’s interest in the specified premises might be expected to realise if sold as mentioned in that sub-paragraph.
(3)In determining that amount there shall be made such deduction (if any) in respect of any defect in title as on a sale of the interest on the open market might be expected to be allowed between a willing seller and a willing buyer.
(4)Where a lease of any flat or other unit contained in the specified premises is to be granted to the freeholder in accordance with section 36 and Schedule 9, the value of his interest in those premises at the valuation date so far as relating to that flat or other unit shall be taken to be the difference as at that date between—
(a)the value of his freehold interest in it, and
(b)the value of his interest in it under that lease, assuming it to have been granted to him at that date;
and each of those values shall, so far as is appropriate, be determined in like manner as the value of the freeholder’s interest in the whole of the specified premises is determined for the purposes of paragraph 2(1)(a).
(5)The value of the freeholder’s interest in the specified premises shall not be increased by reason of—
(a)any transaction which—
(i)is entered into on or after the date of the passing of this Act (otherwise than in pursuance of a contract entered into before that date), and
(ii)involves the creation or transfer of an interest superior to (whether or not preceding) any interest held by a qualifying tenant of a flat contained in the specified premises; or
(b)any alteration on or after that date of the terms on which any such superior interest is held.
(6)Sub-paragraph (5) shall not have the effect of preventing an increase in value of the freeholder’s interest in the specified premises in a case where the increase is attributable to any such leasehold interest with a negative value as is mentioned in paragraph 14(2).
