The closer a domestic lease in Mevagissey gets to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. If the lease has, in excess of 100 years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a stage when a lease has less than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary reason why you should consider extending without delay. Many flat owners in Mevagissey will qualify for this right; that being said a conveyancing solicitor can confirm whether you qualify for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years left, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

In 2014 Alex, started to get close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his two bedroom apartment in Mevagissey. In buying his home two decades ago, the length of the lease was of little bearing. As luck would have it, he noticed he would imminently be paying an inflated amount for Extending the lease. Alex extended the lease just ahead of time in May. Alex and the freeholder via the management company eventually agreed on an amount of £5,000 . If he had missed the deadline, the figure would have increased by at least £1,000.
Mrs B Lefebvre was assigned a lease of a purpose-built flat in Mevagissey in February 1997. We are asked if we could estimate the premium could be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparable residencies in Mevagissey with 100 year plus lease were valued about £270,000. The average ground rent payable was £55 invoiced quarterly. The lease elapsed in 2100. Having 75 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including professional charges.
Last month we were e-mailed by Ms Kayleigh Robinson , who owned a one bedroom apartment in Mevagissey in April 1998. We are asked if we could approximate the premium could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative residencies in Mevagissey with an extended lease were valued around £168,800. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed monthly. The lease ended on 21 June 2080. Taking into account 55 years as a residual term we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £31,400 and £36,200 not including expenses.
