The nearer a domestic lease in Barton Seagrave nears to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. Where the residual term has, more than 125 years remaining then this decrease may be negligible however there will become a point in time when a lease has under than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending without delay. Most flat owners in Barton Seagrave will qualify for this right; however a conveyancer should be able to confirm whether you qualify to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.

Ben owned a 2 bedroom apartment in Barton Seagrave on the market with a lease of a little over sixty years left. Ben on an informal basis approached his freeholder being a well known Bristol-based freehold company for a lease extension. The freeholder was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to an increased rent to £100 yearly. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Ben to exercise his statutory right. Ben obtained expert advice and secured satisfactory resolution without resorting to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
In 2011 we were approached by Dr H González who, having owned a basement apartment in Barton Seagrave in April 2000. We are asked if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparable residencies in Barton Seagrave with 100 year plus lease were worth £225,400. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed monthly. The lease lapsed on 23 July 2090. Having 64 years unexpired we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £15,200 and £17,600 plus professional charges.
In 2009 we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. R Young who, having took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Barton Seagrave in June 2002. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparable premises in Barton Seagrave with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £270,000. The average ground rent payable was £55 collected quarterly. The lease terminated in 2101. Having 75 years left we estimated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including professional charges.
