Section 60 Costs Charged To Leaseholders For Statutory Lease Extensions Under Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (LRHUDA 1993)
Dear Brent Borough Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting information regarding Section 60 costs under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (LRHUDA 1993), specifically those costs that have been passed on to leaseholders who have extended their leases where the council was the Competent Landlord.
To facilitate an analysis on the costs that leaseholders are liable when they extend their leases I would appreciate if you could provide the following data in a csv file with the following columns:
1. Date of completion – YYYY/MM/DD
2. Premium Paid – Integer
3. Section 60 costs – Integer
This data should be provided for the most recent 100 lease extensions that have completed where the council was the Competent Landlord. If this is not deliverable in a single request could you return data for the largest number of requests possible. If you cannot provide all of the above within the scope mentioned above, please provide what available information you have and an explanation for why you cannot provide the data.
I understand that under the Act, I should be entitled to a response within 20 working days of your receipt of this request. If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under your Section 16 obligations, as to how I can refine my request to be included in the scope of the Act.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated, as it will contribute to a better understanding of the financial implications facing leaseholders when extending their leases under LRHUDA 1993.
Yours faithfully,
Josef Wasinski

Dear Josef Wasinski
Freedom of Information Act 2000
Thank you for your information request received on 18/11/2023. This
request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
You requested the following information:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting information
regarding Section 60 costs under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban
Development Act 1993 (LRHUDA 1993), specifically those costs that have
been passed on to leaseholders who have extended their leases where the
council was the Competent Landlord.
To facilitate an analysis on the costs that leaseholders are liable when
they extend their leases I would appreciate if you could provide the
following data in a csv file with the following columns:
1. Date of completion – YYYY/MM/DD
2. Premium Paid – Integer
3. Section 60 costs – Integer
This data should be provided for the most recent 100 lease extensions that
have completed where the council was the Competent Landlord. If this is
not deliverable in a single request could you return data for the largest
number of requests possible. If you cannot provide all of the above within
the scope mentioned above, please provide what available information you
have and an explanation for why you cannot provide the data.
Brent Council holds the information you have requested, however I have
withheld this information on the basis that I consider that the following
exemption applies:
The requested information is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoIA). This is because the
information constitutes personal data as defined by Section 3 of the Data
Protection Act 2018 and disclosing it would breach the Data Protection Act
principles. This is an absolute exemption and consequently consideration
of the public interest test does not apply.
This constitutes a refusal notice under Section 17 of the Freedom of
Information Act.
If you are dissatisfied with the way in which your request has been
handled or the outcome, you may request an internal review within two
calendar months of the date of this response by writing to the following
address:

If you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your request or internal
review, you have a right to appeal directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at:
The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Phone: 0303 123 1113

I will now close your request as of this date.
