When it comes to residential leasehold premises in Noak Hill, you are actually purchasing an entitlement to reside in a property for a prescribed time frame. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you should consider 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 more expensive especially once there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Noak Hill with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it sooner rather than later. Once a lease has below eighty years remaining, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is due.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Eliot owned a conversion apartment in Noak Hill on the market with a lease of a few days over sixty years left. Eliot informally spoke with his freeholder being a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent to start with set at £150 per annum and doubled every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Eliot to invoke his statutory right. Eliot obtained expert advice and secured satisfactory resolution informally and sell the property.
