Unfortunately that a Killamarsh residential lease is a wasting asset. The lease value reduces in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is not fully appreciated in the first few years due to the depreciation being disguised by increases in the Killamarsh property prices.Once your lease gets to 85ish years, you need to start thinking about a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease dips below eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be due. The majority of flat owners in Killamarsh will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer should be able to confirm if you are eligibility. In some situations you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to be adhered to once the process is instigated and you will need to be guided by your lawyer for the duration of the formalities.
Leasehold residencies in Killamarsh with more than one hundred years outstanding 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 home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

Jude was the the leasehold owner of a studio apartment in Killamarsh on the market with a lease of a little over sixty years remaining. Jude on an informal basis spoke with his freeholder a well known Manchester-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £125 per annum. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Jude to exercise his statutory right. Jude procured expert advice and secured an acceptable resolution without resorting to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
Last year we were contacted by Mr Ben Peterson , who was assigned a lease of a one bedroom flat in Killamarsh in February 2000. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparative homes in Killamarsh with 100 year plus lease were worth £260,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 invoiced annually. The lease ran out in 2092. Having 66 years outstanding we estimated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 plus expenses.
In 2011 we were phoned by Mr M Martínez who, having moved into a purpose-built apartment in Killamarsh in June 2002. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would likely be to extend the lease by an additional years. Similar residencies in Killamarsh with an extended lease were valued around £198,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £55 invoiced monthly. The lease expiry date was in 2081. Taking into account 55 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £33,300 and £38,400 plus fees.
