As the the remaining lease term of a Aberdare domestic lease diminished so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, in excess of one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has less than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main rational as to why you should consider extending without delay. The majority of flat owners in Aberdare will qualify for this right; however a conveyancer will be able to confirm if you are eligible for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is generally accepted that a property with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Off the back of unsuccessful discussions with the freeholder of her one bedroom flat in Aberdare, Mollie commenced the lease extension process just as the lease was coming close to the crucial eighty-year mark. The legal work was finalised in August 2009. The landlord’s costs were restricted to approximately 550 GBP.
Last Autumn we were approach by Mr and Mrs. T Morel , who owned a basement apartment in Aberdare in April 2012. We are asked if we could estimate the premium would be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Comparative residencies in Aberdare with an extended lease were worth £210,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 collected per annum. The lease finished on 16 July 2088. Taking into account 62 years remaining we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £18,100 and £20,800 plus legals.
Last Christmas we were e-mailed by Mr I Richardson , who owned a one bedroom flat in Aberdare in April 2003. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar homes in Aberdare with a long lease were valued about £265,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 billed monthly. The lease concluded on 18 June 2099. Considering the 73 years left we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including fees.
