Amlwch leases on domestic properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has in the region of 90 years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is financially advisable for the lease extension to be in place before the term of the existing lease drops below 80 years - otherwise a higher premium will be payable. Flat owners in Amlwch will usually qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor should be able confirm if you qualify. In certain circumstances you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and formalities to follow once the process is initiated so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is generally accepted that a property with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years remaining, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Last Winter we were contacted by Ms Olivia Johnson , who moved into a one bedroom apartment in Amlwch in July 2001. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable premises in Amlwch with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £285,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced every twelve months. The lease terminated on 12 April 2097. Taking into account 71 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including professional charges.
