Tregaron leases on domestic deteriorating in value. Where your lease has about 90 years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. If lease term dips under 80 years, you will then have to pay half of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. Marriage value is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add to the property. Leasehold owners in Tregaron will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor will confirm if you qualify. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are prescribed timetables and formalities to comply with once the process is triggered so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years remaining, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

In recent months Jasper, came very near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his purpose- built apartment in Tregaron. In buying his property two decades ago, the lease term was of little concern. Thankfully, he recognised he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Jasper was able to extend his lease at the eleventh hour in August. Jasper and the landlord subsequently agreed on an amount of £5,500 . If he had missed the deadline, the price would have increased by a minimum £950.
Mrs R Davis was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Tregaron in January 1999. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical homes in Tregaron with an extended lease were valued about £256,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed every twelve months. The lease expiry date was on 12 August 2078. Taking into account 52 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £41,800 and £48,400 exclusive of professional charges.
Last Autumn we were approach by Mr and Mrs. H Roberts , who took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Tregaron in April 2010. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical properties in Tregaron with 100 year plus lease were worth £218,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 billed yearly. The lease finished in 2089. Considering the 63 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus costs.
