As the the remaining lease term of a Chadderton domestic lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the lease has, more than 100 years to run then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. Most flat owners in Chadderton will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a lawyer should be able to confirm whether you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold residencies in Chadderton with more than one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

George owned a 2 bedroom flat in Chadderton being marketed with a lease of a little over 59 years left. George informally contacted his landlord being a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was keen to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £100 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were George to invoke his statutory right. George obtained expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable resolution without going to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
Last Spring we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. U Ward , who moved into a ground floor apartment in Chadderton in February 2009. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical residencies in Chadderton with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £290,000. The average amount of ground rent was £60 billed monthly. The lease came to a finish on 26 February 2106. Taking into account 80 years remaining we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of professional charges.
Last year we were approach by Ms Lauren Bailey , who completed a one bedroom flat in Chadderton in July 1998. The question was if we could approximate the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical homes in Chadderton with a long lease were in the region of £200,800. The average ground rent payable was £65 billed annually. The lease termination date was on 9 February 2086. Considering the 60 years left we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £20,900 and £24,200 exclusive of costs.
