Fulwell leases on domestic deteriorating in value. if your lease has about 90 years remaining, you should start thinking about a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease drops below this level then you start incurring an additional element called marriage value. Flat owners in Fulwell will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor will confirm if you qualify. In some cases you may not qualify. There are prescribed timetables and steps to follow once the process is triggered so it’s wise to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is generally accepted that a property with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Last October Eliot, started to get near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his two bedroom flat in Fulwell. Having bought his home two decades ago, the unexpired term was of minimal significance. Thankfully, he became aware that he would imminently be paying way over the odds for Extending the lease. Eliot arranged for a lease extension just under the wire last August. Eliot and the freeholder eventually agreed on the final figure of £5,500 . If the lease had gone lower than 80 years, the sum would have gone up by at least £1,100.
Last Christmas we were called by Mr Kyle Sharif , who was assigned a lease of a basement apartment in Fulwell in March 2007. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price could be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Identical homes in Fulwell with an extended lease were valued about £168,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 invoiced yearly. The lease expired on 18 April 2081. Given that there were 55 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £31,400 and £36,200 exclusive of legals.
