With a long leasehold property in Nannerch, you are actually purchasing a right to reside in a property for a set period of time. These days flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a long period of time, you should think about extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately greater especially when there are less than 80 years remaining. Anyone in Nannerch with a lease nearing 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it sooner as opposed to later. When a lease has under eighty years left, under the current legislation the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a greater amount, based on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold properties in Nannerch with in excess of one hundred years remaining on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
