4(1)The marriage value is the amount referred to in sub-paragraph (2), and the freeholder’s share of the marriage value is [F3950 per cent. of that amount].E+W
(2)[F40Subject to sub-paragraph (2A),] the marriage value is any increase in the aggregate value of the freehold and every intermediate leasehold interest in the specified premises, when regarded as being (in consequence of their being acquired by the nominee purchaser) interests under the control of the participating tenants, as compared with the aggregate value of those interests when held by the persons from whom they are to be so acquired, being an increase in value—
(a)which is attributable to the potential ability of the participating tenants, once those interests have been so acquired, to have new leases granted to them without payment of any premium and without restriction as to length of term, and
(b)which, if those interests were being sold to the nominee purchaser on the open market by willing sellers, the nominee purchaser would have to agree to share with the sellers in order to reach agreement as to price.
[F41(2A)Where at the relevant date the unexpired term of the lease held by any of those participating members exceeds eighty years, any increase in the value of the freehold or any intermediate leasehold interest in the specified premises which is attributable to his potential ability to have a new lease granted to him as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) is to be ignored.]
(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the value of the freehold or any intermediate leasehold interest in the specified premises when held by the person from whom it is to be acquired by the nominee purchaser and its value when acquired by the nominee purchaser—
(a)shall be determined on the same basis as the value of the interest is determined for the purposes of paragraph 2(1)(a) or (as the case may be) paragraph 6(1)(b)(i); and
(b)shall be so determined as at [F35the relevant date].
(4)Accordingly, in so determining the value of an interest when acquired by the nominee purchaser—
(a)the same assumptions shall be made under paragraph 3(1) (or, as the case may be, under paragraph 3(1) as applied by paragraph 7(1)) as are to be made under that provision in determining the value of the interest when held by the person from whom it is to be acquired by the nominee purchaser; and
(b)any merger or other circumstances affecting the interest on its acquisition by the nominee purchaser shall be disregarded.

F46[(1A)In its application in accordance with sub-paragraph (1), paragraph 3(1A) shall have effect with the addition after paragraph (a) of—
“(aa)an owner of a freehold interest in the specified premises, or”]
(2)The value of an intermediate leasehold interest which is the interest of the tenant under a minor intermediate lease shall be calculated by applying the formula set out in sub-paragraph (7) instead of in accordance with sub-paragraph (1).
(3)“A minor intermediate lease” means a lease complying with the following requirements, namely—
(a)it must have an expectation of possession of not more than one month, and
(b)the profit rent in respect of the lease must be not more than £5 per year;
and, in the case of a lease which is in immediate reversion on two or more leases, those requirements must be complied with in connection with each of the sub-leases.
(4)Where a minor intermediate lease is in immediate reversion on two or more leases—
(a)the formula set out in sub-paragraph (7) shall be applied in relation to each of those sub-leases (and sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) shall also so apply); and

(5)“Profit rent” means an amount equal to that of the rent payable under the lease on which the minor intermediate lease is in immediate reversion, less that of the rent payable under the minor intermediate lease.
(6)Where the minor intermediate lease or that on which it is in immediate reversion comprises property other than a flat held by a qualifying tenant, then in sub-paragraph (5) the reference to the rent payable under it means so much of that rent as is apportioned to any such flat.
(7)The formula is—
where—
P = the price payable;
R = the profit rent;
Y = the yield (expressed as a decimal fraction) from 2½ per cent. Consolidated Stock;
n = the period, expressed in years (taking any part of a year as a whole year), of the remainder of the term of the minor intermediate lease as at [F35the relevant date].
(8)In calculating the yield from 2½ per cent. Consolidated Stock, the price of that stock shall be taken to be the middle market price at the close of business on the last trading day in the week before [F35the relevant date].
(9)For the purposes of this paragraph the expectation of possession carried by a lease in relation to a lease (“the sub-lease”) on which it is in immediate reversion is the expectation of possession which it carries at [F35the relevant date] after the sub-lease, on the basis that—
(a)(subject to sub-paragraph (10)) where the sub-lease is a lease held by a qualifying tenant of a flat contained in the specified premises, it terminates at [F35the relevant date] if its term date fell before then, or else it terminates on its term date; and
(b)in any other case, the sub-lease terminates on its term date.
(10)In a case where before the relevant date for the purposes of this Chapter the landlord of any such qualifying tenant as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (9)(a) had given notice to quit terminating the tenant’s sub-lease on a date earlier than that date, the date specified in the notice to quit shall be substituted for the date specified in that provision.

(2)The value of an intermediate leasehold interest which is the interest of the tenant under a minor intermediate lease shall be calculated by applying the formula set out in sub-paragraph (6) instead of in accordance with sub-paragraph (1).
(3)“A minor intermediate lease” means a lease complying with the following requirements, namely—
(a)it must have an expectation of possession of not more than one month, and
(b)the profit rent in respect of the lease must be not more than £5 per year.
(4)“Profit rent” means an amount equal to that of the rent payable under the lease on which the minor intermediate lease is in immediate reversion, less that of the rent payable under the minor intermediate lease.
(5)Where the minor intermediate lease or that on which it is in immediate reversion comprises property other than the tenant’s flat, then in sub-paragraph (4) the reference to the rent payable under it means so much of that rent as is apportioned to that flat.
(6)The formula is—
where—
P = the price payable;
R = the profit rent;
Y = the yield (expressed as a decimal fraction) from 2½ per cent. Consolidated Stock;
n = the period, expressed in years (taking any part of a year as a whole year), of the remainder of the term of the minor intermediate lease as at [F107the relevant date].
(7)In calculating the yield from 2½ per cent. Consolidated Stock, the price of that stock shall be taken to be the middle market price at the close of business on the last trading day in the week before [F107the relevant date] .
(8)For the purposes of this paragraph the expectation of possession carried by a lease is the expectation which it carries at [F107the relevant date] of possession after the tenant’s lease, on the basis that—

(a)on the assumption that the vendor was selling for an estate in fee simple, subject to the tenancy but on the assumption that this Part of this Act conferred no right to acquire the freehold, and if the tenancy has not been extended under this Part of this Act, on the assumption that (subject to the landlord’s rights under section 17 below) it was to be so extended;
(b)on the assumption that (subject to paragraph (a) above) the vendor was selling subject, in respect of rentcharges to which section 11(2) below applies, to the same annual charge as the conveyance to the tenant is to be subject to, but the purchaser would otherwise be effectively exonerated until the termination of the tenancy from any liability or charge in respect of tenant’s incumbrances; and

shall be the amount which at the relevant time the house and premises, if sold in the open market by a willing seller, might be expected to realise on the following assumptions:—

(b)on the assumption that at the end of the tenancy the tenant has the right to remain in possession of the house and premises—
(i)if the tenancy is such a tenancy as is mentioned in subsection (2) or subsection (3) of section 186 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, or is a tenancy which is a long tenancy at a low rent for the purposes of Part I of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 in respect of which the landlord is not able to serve a notice under section 4 of that Act specifying a date of termination earlier than 15th January 1999, under the provisions of Schedule 10 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989; and

and in a case where the provision (or one of the provisions) by virtue of which the right to acquire the freehold arises is section 1A(1) above, subsection (1A) above shall apply with the omission of the assumption set out in paragraph (b) of that subsection.
(2)The price payable for the house and premises shall be subject to such deduction (if any) in respect of any defect in the title to be conveyed to the tenant as on a sale in the open market might be expected to be allowed between a willing seller and a willing buyer.

(a)the notice under section 8 above of his desire to have the freehold shall cease to have effect, and he shall be liable to make such compensation as may be just to the landlord in respect of the interference (if any) by the notice with the exercise by the landlord of his power to dispose of or deal with the house and premises or any neighbouring property; and
(b)any further notice given under that section with respect to the house or any part of it (with or without other property) shall be void if given within the following three years.
(4)Where a person gives notice of his desire to have the freehold of a house and premises under this Part of this Act, then unless the notice lapses under any provision of this Act excluding his liability, there shall be borne by him (so far as they are incurred in pursuance of the notice) the reasonable costs of or incidental to any of the following matters:—

(5)The landlord’s lien (as vendor) on the house and premises for the price payable shall extend—
(a)to any sums payable by way of rent or recoverable as rent in respect of the house and premises up to the date of the conveyance; and
