HC Deb 25 October 1909 vol 12 cc774-5

(1) Where the value of any consideration for a transfer or lease is to be determined for the purposes of this Part of this Act, that value shall, so far as the consideration consists of the payment of a capital sum, be taken to be the amount of that capital sum, and, so far as the consideration consists of a periodical money payment, be taken to be such sum as appears to the Commissioners to be the capital value of that payment.

(2) If the Commissioners are satisfied that any covenant or undertaking to discharge any incumbrance, or, in cases where a nominal rent only has been reserved, any covenant or undertaking to erect buildings, or to expend any sums upon the property, has formed part of the consideration, the Commissioners shall allow such sum as they think just in respect thereof as an addition to the value of the consideration.

(3) Where it is necessary to apportion any consideration for the purposes of this part of this Act as between properties included in any transfer or lease, the consideration shall be apportioned by the Commissioners in such manner as they determine. Any person interested in the land, not being an owner, may apply to the Commissioners for a copy of the proposed apportionment before it is finally settled, and shall then have the same right of giving notice of objection and of appealing as the owner.

Drafting Amendment made.

Further Amendment made: In Subsection (3) to leave out from the word "determine" ["in such manner as they determine"] all the words to the end of the Clause.—[Sir W. Robson.]
