Meaning of Premiums on Lease

AAsif4y ago
Hello sir, Just wanted to understand what premium in uk leasing of properties mean ? Is it a large sum of overall rent paid in advance ? Or is it key money one pays exclusive of rent, in order to acquire the rights to leasing ? Thankyou

Firstly do not worry about "what it is" - you simply need to be able to correctly deal with the income element of the premium paid or received as shown in the lectures and notes. A premium however represents a one off payment made by a lessee to a lessor as part of the terms of the lease which may, for example, be as a result of certain expenditure incurred on the property by the lessor prior to the commencement of the lease

Thankyou very much sir for the answer. I personally like to understand the logic or background of everything I study if made possible :)
