Unfortunately that a Dyserth residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value drops in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the deflation being disguised by increases in the Dyserth property prices.Where your lease has approximately ninety years left, you should start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease slips below 80 years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. The majority of flat owners in Dyserth will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancing solicitor should be able to confirm whether you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to be adhered to once the process is instigated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancer from beginning to end of the formalities.
Leasehold premises in Dyserth with in excess of 100 years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges warrant it.

Connor was the the leasehold owner of a studio flat in Dyserth being marketed with a lease of fraction over 61 years outstanding. Connor informally approached his landlord being a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent at the outset set at £100 per annum and increase every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Connor to exercise his statutory right. Connor obtained expert advice and secured an acceptable deal without going to tribunal and sell the property.
In 2010 we were approached by Mr Edward Parker who, having was assigned a lease of a basement flat in Dyserth in February 2003. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would likely be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Comparative flats in Dyserth with a long lease were worth £230,800. The average ground rent payable was £60 invoiced monthly. The lease elapsed in 2086. Having 60 years outstanding we calculated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £24,700 and £28,600 not including professional charges.
Last year we were contacted by Dr James Rogers , who completed a one bedroom apartment in Dyserth in January 2007.

The average ground rent payable was £50 collected yearly. The lease terminated on 25 September 2106. Having 80 years as a residual term we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 not including expenses.
