Deganwy leases on domestic properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has in the region of ninety years unexpired, you should start thinking about a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is financially advisable for a lease extension to be in place before the term of the current lease dips below eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be payable. Leasehold owners in Deganwy will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however It would be wise to check with a lawyer to confirm your eligibility. In certain cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and formalities to comply with once the process has started so it’s prudent to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Last October Kyle, started to get close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his ground floor flat in Deganwy. Having bought his home 18 years ago, the lease term was of no interest. Fortunately, he recognised he needed to take action soon on a lease extension. Kyle was able to extend his lease just under the wire last September. Kyle and the landlord who owned the flat above eventually settled on sum of £5,500 . If the lease had dropped lower than 80 years, the figure would have escalated by at least £850.
In 2014 we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. W Green who, having took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Deganwy in July 1997. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar properties in Deganwy with 100 year plus lease were valued about £210,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced yearly. The lease elapsed in 2106. Having 80 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of legals.
Last year we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. L Gómez , who moved into a purpose-built apartment in Deganwy in August 2003. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price could be to extend the lease by an additional years. Identical residencies in Deganwy with 100 year plus lease were worth £280,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed annually. The lease end date was on 20 May 2095. Considering the 69 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £12,400 and £14,200 not including fees.
