When it comes to residential leasehold premises in Tibshelf, 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 may think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater notably when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Residents in Tibshelf with a lease nearing 81 years left should seriously think of extending it as soon as possible. When a lease has below 80 years outstanding, under the relevant Act the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a larger amount, assessed on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold properties in Tibshelf with over one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

In recent months Finley, came precariously near to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his ground floor apartment in Tibshelf. Having bought his property two decades ago, the lease term was of little significance. Luckily, he noticed he would imminently be paying way over the odds for a lease extension. Finley extended the lease just in the nick of time last August. Finley and the freeholder eventually agreed on sum of £6,000 . If the lease had gone lower than eighty years, the sum would have increased by a minimum £1,100.
