There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in Rush Green is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. Where the lease has, over 100 years remaining then this decrease may be negligible that being said there will become a stage when a lease has fewer than eighty years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending without delay. Most flat owners in Rush Green will qualify for this right; however a lawyer will be able to advise if you are eligible 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 over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Luke owned a high value apartment in Rush Green being sold with a lease of just over 61 years unexpired. Luke informally spoke with his landlord a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend 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 Luke to exercise his statutory right. Luke procured expert advice and secured an acceptable resolution without going to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
