It's easy to match the overall market return by buying an index fund. While individual stocks can be big winners, plenty more fail to generate satisfactory returns. That downside risk was realized by HL Global Enterprises Limited (SGX:AVX) shareholders over the last year, as the share price declined 34%. That's well bellow the market return of 0.8%. Even if shareholders bought some time ago, they wouldn't be particularly happy: the stock is down 30% in three years. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 14% in the last 90 days. We note that the company has reported results fairly recently; and the market is hardly delighted. You can check out the latest numbers in our company report.
View our latest analysis for HL Global Enterprises
While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).
Unhappily, HL Global Enterprises had to report a 47% decline in EPS over the last year. The share price fall of 34% isn't as bad as the reduction in earnings per share. So the market may not be too worried about the EPS figure, at the moment -- or it may have expected earnings to drop faster.
The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).
Dive deeper into HL Global Enterprises's key metrics by checking this interactive graph of HL Global Enterprises's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between HL Global Enterprises's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Its history of dividend payouts mean that HL Global Enterprises's TSR, which was a 34% drop over the last year, was not as bad as the share price return.
A Different Perspective
While the broader market gained around 0.8% in the last year, HL Global Enterprises shareholders lost 34%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 3.9% over the last half decade. We realise that Buffett has said investors should 'buy when there is blood on the streets', but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.

A North American IP-telephony company, performing SaaS cloud-based solutions in USA and Canada, entrusted MERA, a division of Orion, with improving the UI and stability of their existing mobile phone applications. The customer was already offering their end-users a reasonably priced product that provided a high-quality voice transmission, regardless of the bandwidth. To enhance the competitive power of the product, the customer wanted to complement the solution with additional functionality.
Customer's free mobile-calling applications were an integral part of both VoIP phone systems, the commercial and the residential one. Each version had dedicated applications for iOS and Android, which made four applications in total. After installing these apps to their mobile phones, end-users could take advantage of making free calls inside the country and paying less for international calling and roaming.
When the customer came to MERA, the mobile applications had an out-of-date UI and experienced certain problems with stability. By resolving these problems, the customer hoped to improve the apps' ratings and increase the number of application downloads from the App Store and the Google Play. In addition, the client planned to enter the European and Asian markets, which meant the language localization was required.
The MERA team entered the project by taking over full responsibility for the frontend development and soon made a notable contribution to the backend stability enhancement. To reduce the customer's costs for the development of four applications, a part of the business logic was put into a common library used by all applications. Among other things, it allowed saving efforts and resources for the applications' development and stability maintenance.
To solve the stability issues, the MERA team revised and improved the applications architecture. At the same time, MERA applied the best QA practices to align the testing process with the industry standards and cover all the test cases. All of this together helped to significantly improve the overall quality of the product.
MERA designers developed from scratch a modern UI for all the applications and extended it with new features. Since then, MERA specialists have been continuously fine-tuning the product and its functionality. In the nearest future, the customer is planning to implement the language localization, which will also be performed by MERA.
The customer received a solution featuring a flexible communication system with cloud-based services comparable with IP phones and mobile applications. Both residential and office products have SaaS versions. The enhancements implemented by the MERA team in close cooperation with the customer's engineers made the solution more competitive on the global VoIP services market.
The refactoring had a strong positive impact on the application's stability and voice transmission quality. This led to a clear audience extension and an increase in number of downloads. As a result, the apps' rating at both App Store and Google Play grew significantly. This was possible because of the improved usability and stability together with the extended functionality. As of today, the customer's solutions hold one of the leading positions on the US and Canada markets with excellent prospects for worldwide expansion.

Randy is a skunk who appears in the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown. He appears on top of Henry's hat at the end of the show, in place of Sammy. He loves to tap dance, much to the chagrin of Henry.
He keeps trying to break into the theater throughout the show and the bears can be heard off-stage running here and there from time to time, trying to get away from him. In the finale, once he manages to get on to the top of Henry's hat, he reveals that he only wanted to break into show-business with the bears.

"I'm not exaggerating when I say Tsumura is the best Japanese restaurant I've tried in Manila. I think it's even better then the best ones in Little Tokyo. No kidding. The fish is so fresh and the dishes are so tasty that I guess I'll get addicted to it. Tsumura is set in the heart of Makati's Central Business District. To find it, you have to enter the Corporate Plaza building and go to the 2nd floor. Nothing indicates there's a Japanese restaurant there. That's why I took so long to discover this wonderful place. Ok, let's talk about the present. And future. NOW it's my fave place to have sushi and sashimi."

"Library Cards" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season eleven. In this episode, when Patrick discovers the pineapple's library, SpongeBob introduces him to the wonderful world of book learning.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Patrick Star
- Gary the Snail
- Sir Urchin (debut)
- Snail Fail (debut)
The episode begins with Patrick watching television, specifically the Sir Urchin and Snail Fail show, which he wants to watch with SpongeBob. Patrick walks in front of his house door and finds SpongeBob. SpongeBob expects that Patrick wants to watch the show with him, but Patrick is curious about what is behind the door. SpongeBob states it is his library and that it is a playground for Patrick's brain. Patrick thinks it is a literal playground and starts to throw and kicks books, but SpongeBob tells him the variety of books that he should read. Patrick starts to read these books, eventually reaching the point where his brain takes the words away from the books to structure an enormous knowledge. Eventually, all of the books run out and the contents of them are stored in Patrick's head, which is now abnormally large.
SpongeBob thinks he has had enough of reading and thinks Patrick should go outside, but Patrick's brain blocks the door. Patrick suggests different ideas that he learned from reading the books, such as an electromagnet to synthesize the iinformation, sliming his head with Gary's slime, and acting as a witch doctor, with no progress. Eventually, Patrick suggests to exit the area, he has to dumb down, so SpongeBob rebuilds the television and makes Patrick watch Sir Urchin and Snail Fail. Eventually, in Patrick's head, Sir Urchin and Snail Fail are both destroying the large city made of words in Patrick's head and Patrick's head shrinks down.
SpongeBob restores the words back to the books and Patrick's brain resumes being a couch potato. However, Patrick finds out the books again and starts throwing them once more, eventually ending the episode with SpongeBob getting hit in the mouth by a book ironically titled "The End."
The episode was confirmed by Vincent Waller on March 22, 2018.[1]

- This episode is available on The Complete Eleventh Season and SpongeBob SquarePants Vol. 19 DVDs.
- This episode premiered on Mark Hamill's 67th birthday, 19 years after "MuscleBob BuffPants" and "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" premiered, 10 years after Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition was released in Australia, six years after the re-release of The Seascape Capers, Friend or Foe?, SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis, SpongeBob's Pest of the West, and SpongeBob vs. The Big One DVDs, and three years after "Company Picnic" premiered.
- Ironically, despite being called "Library Cards," none are mentioned or seen in the episode.
- However, the title could be referring to SpongeBob and Patrick's antics in the library, as the word card also means "a person who is odd or amusing," which describes SpongeBob and Patrick.
- Patrick has visited SpongeBob's library before in "Boating School," "Something Smells" and "Sportz?," but he acts like he has never seen it until this episode.
- Furthermore, Patrick does not even know what the word "library" means at the beginning of the episode, but says he has overdue library books in "Rule of Dumb."
- Very little characters appear in this episode, with six in total making an appearance. Even less characters appear in-person, as Sir Urchin and Snail Fail are only shown on TV.
- A majority of this episode takes place inside SpongeBob's house, as the outdoors are only shown at the beginning of the episode for at least 30 seconds.
- This is one of the few episodes to showcase Gary's interest in reading, some others being "Sleepy Time," "Gary Takes a Bath," "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve," and "Pet Sitter Pat."
- He is shown reading a book called Cooking Without Salt, alluding to the fact that salt kills snails. This phobia was previously alluded to in "Pet Sitter Pat."
- This episode marks the second time Patrick becomes smart when reading books. The first was "Patrick SmartPants."
Cultural references
- When SpongeBob shows Patrick the contents of his library, he shows Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace as an example of an unabridged book.
- The novel is later parodied at the end of the episode, where a book called Clam and Peace appears.
- One of the books shown at the end of the episode is called Moby D, referencing Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick.
- Another book shown at the episode's end is called The Old Fish and the Sea, referencing Ernest Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea.
- At the start of the episode, the plank pathway between Squidward's house and the road is missing.
Running gags
- Snail Fail hitting Sir Urchin with various objects, along with Sir Urchin yelling "Why you" and saying "What'd I do?"
- SpongeBob showing Patrick the different types of books.

No, a nutria is an otter, which are more closely related to wolverines than to rats. Whoever liked this isn't a Spanish speaker or/and doesn't know much about animals.
clairels Says:
A nutria is a type of rat.
indiefendi2 Says:
This name is pretty and does not sound like the snarky description. 😡 That trash Nevaeh sounds like Nivea which actually is a brand of skin cream, for crying out loud!
Theodora_Phoenix Says:
Not a bad name in general, but I prefer Neriah.
Orchid_Lover Says:
That's spelled urea.
madmaddie Says:
Okay really, what's with the unnecessary snarkiness (in a bad way) in the description? This isn't the first time I've noticed it...the name may not by my favorite, but like I said, it's a bit unnecessary.
maybe_someday_baby Says:
Uria: substance in urine.
Sorry, can't.
Zoey_Artemisia Says:
My names Zara (which is the name of a clothing line). Only once have I gotten the association with the store, all the other comments have been compliments on its uniqueness and beauty. So I agree with the ridiculous reason of not using the name because of a cosmetic association. If it's a great name and you love it, use it!
Analia Says:
I think this name is super pretty, and unusual too. I mean there are girls out there named Nevaeh---and there is a Nivea skin care line too and girls named Zara---Spanish clothing store, so really who cares. I think Nuria is adorable <3
OpheliaFlora Says:
If you had to cross off every name on your list due to a cosmetic association, you'd had no names left.
Orchid_Lover Says:
Agreed. What's up with the totally obnoxious skin cream "name info" comment? I had to google quite a bit to pull up nuria monti. Not really a bad association anyway.
OpheliaFlora Says:
A beautiful Spanish name that is totally usable but quite uncommon. Great for a bilingual baby but totally usable for any kid, no matter the heritage!

Ever shopped agencies? Freelancer designers? Advertising consultants? Or outsourced marketing help by any other name? If you have, you might've noticed something confounding: Those who want the biggest paydays are also often the same ones who, when hired, want to tell you exactly where and how to dig—but wouldn't be caught dead holding a shovel.
I'm talking, of course, about the labor of effective marketing. And labor is the word. Because for marketing to work, you, and by extension your marketing team, also have to work. Very hard. Every day.
No kidding, says you, fearless marketing leader and protagonist of this article. That's obvious. And yet when it comes to retaining the perfect marketing partner, you'd be amazed at how susceptible a budding, in-transition, or otherwise-vulnerable marketing program is to self-described 'strategists'—hacks with marketing titles who really just talk a lot, and then send their invoice.
As soon as you know what to look for, you can't unsee it. A couple clues: When pitching their service, they'll tend to use terms like "drive strategy," which is code for, I don't do any real work, because I'm the smartest guy in the room, and only peons sweat. When prompted for their experience, they'll quickly relay a client list that's a veritable 'Who's Who' of the most successful companies in your space (and how honored you should feel that they'd even entertain working with the likes of you!). Ask them to monetize their success? They'll use figures that are just-a-tier above your market cap (e.g., if your revenues are in the hundreds of millions, they'll tell you about their last billion-dollar marketing victory).
How exactly these guys manage to mold lasting relationships from lip-service, and sleep at night, is foreign to a business like Simpatico. Value, to us, means we can't stop at creating go-to-market strategies for clients; that's just the beginning. We've got to, got to, got toexecute, and follow through. That means putting in the time. It means dealing as much in tedium as we do in big-picture thinking. It means being accountable—for success and all its glory, and for failure and all its blunder.
The benefits of this ethos are, to us, obvious: It's only through deep, continuous, day-to-day involvement that we can ever hope to know our clients' businesses as well as they do, and continuously improve the effectiveness of our partnership.
A Matter of Principal
It occurred to me while reading up on 'Game of Thrones' creator George R. R. Martin that many of our counterparts in the outsourced marketing realm have abetted this kind of sloth-and-gluttony definition of strategy. Here's what I mean:
Strategy, as many of our competitors would have you believe, means having a really good idea and telling others what to do with it. They also peddle the idea that strategy takes the form of dialogue and conjecture—and that if you're designing, developing or otherwise deploying, well, that's not strategic. Or, most egregious, they pit thinking and doing against one another, suggesting that solid strategy and effective execution can't possiblycome in one package.
That, of course, is ridiculous. The cream of the crop in the arts and outsourced marketing are proof of the opposite.
We model our agency after contemporaries whose principals said "'Til death do us part!" with their businesses. In agency land, that's guys like Stan Richards—who, at 85 years young, remains as involved in client work as he was when he opened a freelance shop from his garage in Dallas 42 years ago. (The guy still runs production meetings.) In entertainment, it's gals like Dolly Parton, who went from Smoky Mountain rags to Dollywood riches—not thanks to luck, or talent, or acumen, but because she's still, now in the sixth decade of her music career, putting in the work to crystalize her branded entertainment empire. You don't need to like country music to respect the hell out of that.
Let the Market, Not the Monarch, Do the Talking
Richards and Parton are a far cry from the bunch of big-talking, price-inflated marketing consultancies and agencies who would have you believe that their do-nothing method is justified by their embellished resume. But that's the trick of it all: to persuade you that they, and they alone, are the kings of their domains, and are thus worth their royal approach to problem-solving.
Buyer beware: Give 'em a seat at the table, and you can be sure they'll use it like a throne. Why wouldn't they? After all, from the comfort of a throne, whenever something doesn't work, you can simply yell, Off with their heads!, and keep your seat. And that's about the extent of what they'll do: Bark orders, point fingers, send a massive invoice, repeat.
Call us old-fashioned, but we'd rather let our work—and your customers—do the talking.

Uwee hee hee hee! Welcome, editors, to the Dragon's Neck Colosseum! My name is Ultros the receptionist, and each week I'm taking bets as to who will win in a tussle between two characters from the Final Fantasy series! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more of a poll, really. The Colosseum owner stuck me on this duty after Kefka was defeated, but I need the money! So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message here.
The Rules, Briefly
Functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that week. You may vote only once. If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section. It is important to do this because user and anonymous votes carry different weight. Votes put in the wrong section will be deleted. Users who do not log in when they vote will be considered anonymous IPs, and their votes also will be deleted. You may either complain about the fight or vote, not both. When a new fight is created, generally once per week, the previous fight's votes will be totaled and its winner decided. Ties may be called if the victor won by a margin of 10% or less.

Although the Gunblade has seen other appearances in things beside FFVIII, most of thhem don't work like Squall's they actually shoot projectiles and don't work anything like his. Why must they try and make sense of the awesome?! --AnonyMan
I find it interesting and rather unfortunate that people think that gunblades are original in any way. Weapons combining guns with swords have exist for centuries and have been universally... well... ineffective. They make for generally a poor sword and an even poorer gun. T·A·C·T·I·C·A·N·G·E·L 23:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I would like to point out that the idea of a gunblade is not to function as both a sword and a gun but to function as a vibro blade. The ingition of the cartridge in the hangle causes a jolt to pass through the blade. If timed correctly, this jolt can greatly increase the damage inlicted by the blade as it widens the wound caused by the initial stike. This is actually a possible, viable and dangerous weapon, but the sheer amount of money that it would require to research, perfect and make one, along with the near-impossiblilty of being able to get the ignition timing right and the fact that it's a god-dammed melee weapon in a world (this one) where swords are all but obsolete. In theory it would work, but so would a normal sword, and normal swords are cheaper. RedMage

Fox-Weasel Woes
Reads: 195 | Likes: 2 | Shelves: 1 | Comments: 1
Short Story by: JE Falcon
Now let it be known that Fib-lover Rats are no good to eat, especially not to a Fox-Weasel that is not desperate or starving.
But Fib-lover Rats do a good job of cleaning up after the more than sloppy Fox-Weasels. And believe me; the Fox-Weasel's eating habits make a heck of a mess.
The only thing that might get messier is the lies that some Fox-Weasels tell while in pursuit of a meal. And that is why they are knows as Fib-Weavers as well as Fox-Weasels.
No, the Fox-Weasel does not eat the Fib-lover Rat; it tries to con it into following along behind. And, of course, if one of these Rats follows then it cleans up the mess that the Fox-Weasel leaves behind. Thereby, they both eat well and there is little trace evidence left behind.
Now, let's get on with the story.
It was early morning and the first inning to this day's game had begun.
Fox-Weasel, or Fib-Weaver, was shoveling her nose along the grassy terrain, and then she sniffed the air high above her head.
Much like the Honey Badger, the Fox-Weasel is relentless in her pursuit of a meal, and her nose always leads the way. But unlike the Honey Badger, she also seeks the opportunity to beguile and deceive, when the need is there.
So when this Fox-Weasel detected the hint and sent of a Fib-lover Rat, she employed all the skills that she possessed.
"Well Hello!" the Fib-Weaver said to the unsuspecting Fib-lover Rat.
The Rat was startled and ran behind a remnant of a battlefield memorial to hide.
So Fox-Weasel climbed on top of the old cannon, and while looking down on the Rat, it stated, "I mean you no harm, dear brother. I too am a scavenger.
But you are right to be cautious for there are others that would do us harm and would try to limit the food that we may eat."
The Rat looked puzzled by such statements, so it inquired, "It is true that we are much alike in our thinking and deeds. But since I do not trust my own kind with my life, or my food, why would I want to trust you?"
"Ah, a good question, indeed!" bellowed the Fox-Weasel.
Then it went on to say, "But please understand, this is not a case of trust, it is a case of them against us. You see? They are all against us so we must do everything in our power to outwit them.
We should band together, I will take the front and lead the way to our prosperity, and you will follow behind cleaning up any evidence that we are eating in restricted areas."
That puzzled look come over the Rats face again, so he asked the Fox-Weasel, "Are you saying that you want us to enter the Forbidden Zone? You do know that they kill invasive predictors that eat there. Don't you?"
The Fox-Weasel laughed and replied, "The Forbidden Zone is safe as long as no-one can prove that we were eating there. And both of us, together, can make that happen!
It is simple, I devour and you clean up. No evidence means no proof and no proof means no-one will come after the invasive predator. Like I said, it is them against us.
And after all, why should we have to work so hard to find our food when there is lots of it just waiting for us in that, so called, forbidden zone."
What the Fib-Weaver said seemed to make a lot of sense, so the Fib-lover Rat joined the little two member invasive predator brigade.
And even though Fox-Weasel partook of most of the spoils, the Fib-lover Rat still had more than enough to eat. --- And that became the problem.
One afternoon the Rat asked the Fox-Weasel, "Why are you killing more than you and I can eat? That was not the plan!"
The Fox-Weasel replied, "Because I like the best of the best, but the best of the best is a very small part of the whole, so I have to kill many to get enough to eat."
The Rat sneered and showed its teeth, then stated, "Your gluttonous ways are going to get us caught!
I don't know how you think, but as for me, I think that a meal is not worth being killed for."
The Fox-Weasel sniffed the air and replied, "Well, my little assistant, it is too late to worry about that now. The enemy is not far behind us and they have the mistaken idea that you are the only predator doing the killing."
The Rat laughed and asked, "Why would you think that, have you been talking to them?"
The Fox-Weasel replied, "No, not exactly. But I came to that conclusion the first time that I hunted here. That is when I noticed a Fib-lover Rat following after me. And you see, the enemy tracks and killed that Rat and every one of them after that. You will be the one they are looking for, and the fourth to die in the forbidden zone, --- sorry.

Lease Extension
Lease Extension Solicitors - Flats
The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 provides leaseholders in England & Wales the right to extend the lease to their flat. Qualifying leaseholders can extend their lease by a further 90 years and diminish the ground rent to a peppercorn.
Short Lease Concerns for Flats
A leasehold asset is an ownership for a defined number of years. Over the course of time, those years reduce, and so does the value of the property. As the term of the lease gets shorter, the premium payable for the extension increases especially when the lease is 80 years or less. Therefore, a lease is often described as a depreciating asset.
As the lease to your flat is one of your biggest assets, it is always worth extending the lease at the earliest opportunity to minimise the cost of the premium payable. If you don't, you could risk not only making your property less marketable but also losing the it altogether. When the lease expires the landlord is entitled to the return on the physical flat – i.e. you lose the flat.
To avoid this, you could consider an informal lease extension if your landlord is willing to consider this option or alternatively if you are a qualifying tenant you could invoke the statutory lease extension procedure which is set out in legislation.
If you have a short house lease, the preferred route is to buy the freehold instead of extending the lease.
The Qualifying Criteria:
- The lease must be a long lease, of over 21 years
- The tenant must have been the registered proprietor of the lease for at least 2 years.
- There is a nominal lease ground rent
Statutory Lease Extension – Getting Started:
A lease extension process is rather technical procedure, which can be exacerbated by reluctant freehold owners.
A typical lease extension procedure would entail:
- Checking your eligibility to make a lease extension claim
- Preparing detailed instructions for a RICS Surveyor
- Preparing and serving the Section 42 Notice of Claim
- Dealing with the landlord's counterclaim
- Assisting with negotiations on the premium
- Dealing with the deed of covenant terms
- Registration at Land Registry
Our lease enfranchisement solicitors have the specialist knowledge and know-how of each step in the process of a residential freehold purchase in order to provide you with peace of mind and ensure the process progresses smoothly and efficiently whilst protecting your interests.
To assist flat owners through the complex process of leasehold extension, please see our BLOG or FREE PDF GUIDE ON LEASE EXTENSIONS or download a copy from the right hand side of this page.
Our free leasehold extension guide for flats covers:
- The routes available to extending the lease – voluntary or statutory
- Lease Extension process flow chart
- The steps taken in the statutory lease extension process
- The qualifying criteria for lease extensions
- The lease extension premium and RICS valuation
- How lease extension disputes dealt with and absent freeholders
- How third parties are dealt with
- Withdrawing the Section 42 Notice of Claim
- Collective Enfranchisement option
- The advantages of extending the lease
Assigning the Benefit of the Section 42 Notice
If you are thinking of buying a flat with a short lease, you should consider asking the current owner to exercise their right to extend the lease before the purchase or you will have to wait 2 years to exercise the right yourself.
If a lease term has less than 125 years remaining it is vital to consider renewing the lease on a flat. However, the minimum lease term requirements for mortgage lenders can be found in the Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook.
How Our Lease Extension Solicitors Can Help
The statutory process of extending the lease to a flat is not the same as buying a flat. Apart from meeting certain criteria and following a certain procedure there are many pitfalls and traps, and if the process is not followed correctly, it will mean that you cannot exercise your right again for another 12 months.
Therefore, specialist legal advice is highly recommended for this niche area of property law.
Monarch Solicitors (Authorised and Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority), can manage the process from start to finish, ensure co-operation between the leaseholder and landlord, and ensure that a solid, legitimate lease extension occurs and is then registered at the Land Registry.
We are members of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners and as such our ALEP accredited leasehold extension lawyers have vast experience of dealing with the complex nuances of the issues that can arise during a freehold purchase.
As specialist leasehold solicitors, our team can also advise on:
- Leasehold Enfranchisement – Buying the Freehold to a House
- Collective Enfranchisement for Flat Owners – Buying the Share of the Freehold in Blocks of Flats
- Statutory Commercial Lease Renewals
- Commercial Leases – New Leases & Assignment
- Advice & Representation for Freeholders on their Duties
- Right to Manage Claims
- Right of First Refusal
- Service Charge Disputes
- Buying a Residential Property
- Selling a Residential Property
- Leasehold Residents Associations
Price & Service Transparency
At Monarch Solicitors we provide highly competitive legal fees for clients wishing to buy extend their lease. We will provide you with a breakdown of the routine legal costs for a simple lease extension from the outset so that you can budget the statutory lease extension cost.
We have a 3 stage Process for uncontested lease extensions:
- Eligibility checks and RICS valuation of the premium payable
- Drafting and serving the Section 42 Notice
- Dealing with the deed of covenant and its registration at Land Registry
It is difficult to estimate the average costs extending the lease or the premium, however a lease extension calculator can be found at Lease-Advice.org which is a government funded body that provides independent advice for residential leaseholders.
As well as the premium you will have to pay the landlords reasonable costs and valuation fees. Stamp Duty may be payable if the premium is over a certain threshold. Therefore, you should budget for the costs involved in the lease extension process.
More information about leasehold property can be found at the government website GOV.UK – Leasehold Property.

Yes, even if the tenant satisfies the above criteria, they will not be a qualifying tenant if any of the following cases apply:
- the landlord is a charitable housing trust and the flat is provided as part of the charity's functions;
- the tenant owns more than two flats in the building. This is either jointly with others or solely in their own name. Please note where this applies these flats will be discounted from the two-thirds;
- the tenant has a business or commercial lease.
It is a right for the owners of flats in a building, and sometimes part of a building, to join and buy the freehold. Provided at least 50% of the flats in the building, who are qualifying tenants, participate and the building qualifies the landlord cannot refuse. The procedure is quite complex, and the correct notice needs to be served on the landlord, so it is advisable to use a specialist solicitor and surveyor when undertaking this process. To learn more about this process please visit our dedicated page for Collective Enfranchisement. https://www.monarchsolicitors.com/personal/property/collective-enfranchisement/

Does the iPad make sense as a computer now?
September 28, 2019
(Dieter exhales loudly) (mid-tempo hip-hop music)
– This week was WWDC and we saw a ton, and
I mean a ton, of stuff: that new Mac Pro, dark mode on the iPhone, iPad apps on the Mac, a watchOS App Store, and new features for the iPad. And today, I want to talk about the iPad because I have feelings, also questions, maybe answers, but definitely questions,
and here are two. Is it ready to be your primary computer, and then, is this new
gesture system intuitive? (quirky music)
So with the first question, we've got iPadOS, which is iOS 13 but renamed for the iPad, I guess. Can it do all the computer things? I mean, if you look at all of the features that Apple announced in its keynote, it's like they were personally
responding to our gripes from our iPad Pro review. – You can plug as many flash drives or hard drives as you
want into this USB-C port, and nothing will happen. (audience applauds)
– You can now plug in a thumb drive! – You can't even import photos directly into an app like Lightroom CC. – Sometimes when you're
working with a camera, you'd like to import directly
into an app like Lightroom, and now you can. – The mobile version of Safari just isn't a desktop-class browser. – Well, no more, because we're bringing
desktop-class browsing. (audience applauds) (quirky electronic music)
– Now, with all of that stuff, I don't really know if it's all better because Apple changed the
iPad at a fundamental level or if Apple's just
fixing one-off annoyances we've been complaining about
by just doing whack-a-mole. We're going to have to
wait for the full review to answer that question for real. I should note right now, though, that I only had a short time
with the new iPadOS directly. All the video footage that
you're seeing here and elsewhere is Apple's own on-rails demo. Anyway, I do think the
new windowing system alone should make this update worth it. You have a ton of new
Slide Over app options, and you can fan them out or swipe through them just like an iPhone. You could have a single
app with multiple windows and even get a view of
all those app windows just like you can on the Mac. iPadOS is built so that
anything you can drag, you can pretty much make a window out of, and although the first
version of this developer beta is a little bit buggy, the window thing, it actually
really did kinda work. But we need to talk about
the new gestures now, and that means we get to talk about grammar. – [Off-camera] No. – This is the, look, look! I got an English degree
(mid-tempo hip-hop music) and I'm going to use it, damnit, and I promise this is going to make sense, so just hang with me here. First thing, we need to talk about what all of the iPadOS gestures are because there are just a lot of them. One finger, tap. Also drag. Also tap and hold to do some stuff, but it changes depending on the context. It might be jiggly mode or
it might be something else, but then, there's also new stuff. There's a new way to just
drag the cursor around, but if you do it just so, instead of moving the cursor, you can select text with it. Then, two fingers. This is new, but there's a way
that you can use two fingers to select multiple items
on a list by dragging it. I don't think we've seen all the ways that this can work just yet. Now, the other new thing is three fingers. First, there's cut and paste. You use three fingers like you're picking something up to copy. You do it twice to cut, and then you do this
like three-finger plop to paste stuff. There's also undo and redo, which is a three-finger swipe
to the left or to the right. Also, you can hold down three fingers to get a pop-up user interface
for cut, copy, and paste. Lastly, four fingers. Just like before, a pinch will take you home. It's actually pretty easy to mix this up with the three-finger thing, but whatever. (Dieter exhales sharply) The thing is if we made this
same list for Mac or Windows and everything that you
can do with a keyboard and various mouse clicks
and drags or whatever, it would be pretty long, too, which is what brings me to grammar. Okay, so how long do I have to get into the theory of language and maybe just a little
bit of bonus semiotics? – [Off-camera] I'll give you like a minute? – Okay so, yeah, no semiotics then. (books thud heavily) (Dieter groans) (percussive music)
Think of language as being on a spectrum. On this end are really rigid languages like math and formal
logic and computer code. If you use the wrong
grammar in these languages, they totally break and they
don't communicate any meaning. They form an internally
consistent framework that runs like a clock, and you pretty much have to take classes to learn how to use them. On the other end of the
spectrum is natural language, the stuff that you and I speak every day, like English or Mandarin or whatever. These languages are really flexible. Their rules of grammar can bend without breaking their meaning. The grammar, though, it's super messy because we basically make it up as we go. However, we learn these
languages naturally just by having people talk to us. In the middle, you can
think of a user interface as a kind of language. It's how you communicate
with the computer. It has to be really rigid
and consistent like code because that's how computers work, but it also needs to be
flexible and learnable over time because that's how our stupid
squishy human brains work. So the iPad user interface has a grammar. It has rules, but where does it fall on this language spectrum? Did I do it?
(percussive music) I didn't do it? Great. I was close! (electronic drum thumps) So let's answer that spectrum question. (mid-tempo hip-hop music)
I do think the grammar on iPadOS is mostly internally consistent and fairly flexible. One finger, do stuff. Two fingers, select stuff. Three fingers, edit stuff. Four fingers, go home, I guess? I don't know. These different finger
gestures do different things depending on the context, which is a little bit of
a problem for consistency, but hey, this isn't code, so I'm not mad. But I worry that the iPad's grammar is too hard to naturally learn. With the grammar of a
mouse and a keyboard, you build up more skills
naturally over time as you use it. You right-click and see a menu and then you do it elsewhere. You find the keyboard shortcuts
listed in the top menu. Now, part of this is that we've had the desktop around for 35 years, so it feels normal. But the truth is that the
desktop UI is super weird, and we all learned how to use it, but it has a smooth ramp-up
from basic user to pro user. On the iPad, I just don't
know how one of these gestures leads naturally to the more advanced one. I think once you learn them
all and get good at them, the iPad can be incredibly
flexible and powerful, but there's not a smooth ramp-up. You're going to have to, like,
watch a lot of tutorials to figure all these gestures out. (mellow music)
Look, I know this grammar stuff,
it's not a perfect metaphor, but I do think it's a
really helpful framework for answering the question I started with at the beginning of the video: is the iPad's user interface intuitive? Now, I think intuitive is a dumb word because most people use it wrong. They think it means something that everybody just knows inherently. What intuitive actually means is stuff that you learn without noticing that you're learning it. We all know that the iPad is intuitive because you can just
hand it to any toddler and they'll figure out the
basics just by playing with it, but these new, more advanced gestures, I'm not sure they're there yet. I think we might be looking
at the same story as always with the iPad. It can be really powerful, but only if you take the
time to learn its quirks. Hey, thank you so much for watching. Let me know what you think of this weird argument
down in the comments, and specifically, do you think that iPadOS makes this a primary
computer for more people? Also, if you're more interested in an, like, actually powerful computer, we have a great video with the new Mac Pro and a ton of coverage for
that so check all that out.
