Elland leases on residential deteriorating in value. if your lease has about 90 years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. Eighty years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease dips below this level then you start paying an additional element called marriage value. Leasehold owners in Elland will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor will confirm if you qualify. In certain situations you may not qualify. There are prescribed deadlines and steps to follow once the process has commenced so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
Leasehold residencies in Elland with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Oliver was the the leasehold proprietor of a 2 bedroom flat in Elland being sold with a lease of a little over 72 years unexpired. Oliver informally spoke with his landlord a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £125 annually. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Oliver to invoke his statutory right. Oliver obtained expert advice and was able to make an informed judgement and deal with the matter and sell the flat.
