A premium is a capital sum paid to the landlord on the granting of a lease. A premium will normally be met where the rent payable under the lease is less than a full market rent. It will usually take the form of a cash payment but it could be in the form of money’s worth, for example the tenant may agree to undertake certain work on the landlord’s behalf and for the landlord’s benefit, see also CG71040 for capital improvements made by the tenant.

In Scotland, a premium is usually called a grassum.
