When it comes to domestic leasehold premises in Llanrwst, you are actually purchasing an entitlement to live in a property for a prescribed time frame. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you may think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly particularly when there are less than eighty years left. Residents in Llanrwst with a lease drawing near to 81 years left should seriously consider extending it without delay. When the lease term has under eighty years remaining, under the relevant legislation the landlord can calculate and demand a larger amount, assessed on a technical computation, known as “marriage value” which is due.
It is generally accepted that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years remaining, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Half a year ago Eliot, came seriously near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his leasehold apartment in Llanrwst. In buying his property 19 years previously, the lease term was of no interest. Fortunately, he recognised he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Eliot arranged for a lease extension just ahead of time last January. Eliot and the landlord eventually settled on the final figure of £5,000 . If the lease had slid below eighty years, the amount would have gone up by at least £950.
In 2011 we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. J Taylor who, having moved into a basement apartment in Llanrwst in April 2011. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Identical flats in Llanrwst with 100 year plus lease were worth £173,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced per annum. The lease finished on 8 September 2081. Having 55 years left we estimated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £31,400 and £36,200 not including fees.
Last year we were contacted by Mrs Sarah Bernard , who moved into a one bedroom apartment in Llanrwst in October 2007. The question was if we could approximate the price could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Identical premises in Llanrwst with an extended lease were in the region of £235,200. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed every twelve months. The lease terminated on 7 September 2092. Having 66 years as a residual term we estimated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 plus costs.
