The only way is down when it comes to Bargoed lease terms. Bargoed flats that have a remaining term shorter than 80 years will reduce in value at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will go up.
Leasehold residencies in Bargoed with over one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Two years ago Dexter, started to get near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his leasehold flat in Bargoed. In buying his property 18 years previously, the unexpired term was of minimal interest. As luck would have it, he noticed he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Dexter arranged for a lease extension just under the wire in March. Dexter and the landlord who owned the flat above eventually agreed on the final figure of £5,500 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the premium would have increased by a minimum £950.
Mr Reuben Richardson was assigned a lease of a garden flat in Bargoed in August 2009. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would likely be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparable homes in Bargoed with 100 year plus lease were worth £280,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 invoiced per annum. The lease ended in 2095. Having 69 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including expenses.
Last year we were called by Mr and Mrs. A Phillips , who bought a purpose-built flat in Bargoed in January 2011. The dilemma was if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar flats in Bargoed with 100 year plus lease were valued around £216,000. The average ground rent payable was £60 collected annually. The lease terminated on 28 June 2084. Given that there were 58 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £28,500 and £33,000 exclusive of professional charges.
