When it comes to residential leasehold premises in Flint, you are in fact renting it for a certain period of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you may consider extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately greater particularly when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Flint with a lease nearing 81 years left should seriously think of extending it without delay. When a lease has fewer than 80 years remaining, under the relevant statute the landlord can calculate and charge a greater amount, assessed on a technical calculation, known as “marriage value” which is payable.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
