Ewloe leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has about ninety years remaining, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If lease term is less than 80 years, you will then be required to pay 50% of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the standard cost of the lease extension to your landlord. Marriage value is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add to the property. Leasehold owners in Ewloe will usually be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to confirm your eligibility. In some situations you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and steps to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s prudent to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
Leasehold premises in Ewloe with more than 100 years remaining on the lease are often referred to as ‘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 buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

Last year Benjamin, came very near to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his two bedroom flat in Ewloe. Having purchased his property two decades ago, the length of the lease was of little bearing. Thankfully, he noticed he needed to take action soon on a lease extension. Benjamin extended the lease just in the nick of time in August. Benjamin and the landlord who owned the flat above in the end settled on the final figure of £5,500 . If he not met the deadline, the sum would have increased by a minimum £875.
Last Winter we were e-mailed by Mr U Petit , who was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Ewloe in April 1997. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable residencies in Ewloe with an extended lease were in the region of £198,800. The average ground rent payable was £55 billed yearly. The lease lapsed on 7 February 2081. Considering the 55 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £33,300 and £38,400 plus legals.
Last year we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. L Ramírez , who took over the lease of a studio apartment in Ewloe in November 2008. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative residencies in Ewloe with a long lease were valued about £300,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 invoiced annually. The lease elapsed in 2101. Given that there were 75 years remaining we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including legals.
