The closer a residential lease in Tickton nears to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. If the residual term has, over one hundred years to run then this decrease may be negligible that being said there will become a stage when a lease has under than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease sooner rather than later. Many flat owners in Tickton will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer should be able to advise if you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years remaining, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

After lengthy correspondence with the landlord of her purpose-built apartment in Tickton, Imogen started the lease extension process as the eighty year mark was quickly coming. The lease extension was concluded in September 2011. The landlord’s fees were negotiated to about 450 pounds.
In 2009 we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. A Bernard who, having moved into a first floor apartment in Tickton in April 1996. We are asked if we could estimate the price would likely be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical flats in Tickton with an extended lease were in the region of £250,400. The average ground rent payable was £65 invoiced every twelve months. The lease expiry date was on 26 August 2089. Given that there were 64 years left we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £19,000 and £22,000 exclusive of fees.
Last Autumn we were called by Mr R Ramírez , who owned a first floor apartment in Tickton in June 2006. The question was if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative flats in Tickton with 100 year plus lease were valued about £184,000. The average amount of ground rent was £55 invoiced annually. The lease came to a finish on 21 July 2078. Considering the 53 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £28,500 and £33,000 exclusive of legals.
