With a long leasehold property in Hessle, you effectively rent it for a certain period of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you should consider a lease extension sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially when there are less than eighty years left. Residents in Hessle with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it without delay. Once the lease term has below eighty years outstanding, under the relevant Act the landlord is entitled to calculate and levy a greater premium, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is payable.
Leasehold premises in Hessle with in excess of one hundred years left on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.

Jasper owned a high value apartment in Hessle on the market with a lease of just over sixty years unexpired. Jasper informally approached his freeholder a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was keen to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £50 yearly. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Jasper to exercise his statutory right. Jasper procured expert advice and secured an acceptable resolution informally and readily saleable.
Dr Morgan Rodríguez took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Hessle in February 2009. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Comparative residencies in Hessle with an extended lease were valued around £223,400. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 invoiced annually. The lease elapsed in 2085. Taking into account 59 years remaining we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £27,600 and £31,800 exclusive of expenses.
