Where the residual term has, more than one hundred years to run then this decrease may be fractional that being said there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 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 reason why you should consider extending without delay. Many flat owners in Alrewas will qualify for this right; however a conveyancing solicitor can advise if you are eligible to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with over 100 years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
