The rule of thumb is, all other factors being equal, the shorter the lease the more costly the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Beckermet may extend the lease for a further 90 years in accordance with statute. Do think carefully before delaying your Beckermet lease extension. Shelving that expense now simply escalates the premium you will eventually have to pay to extend the lease.
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Trailing lengthy discussions with the freeholder of her ground floor apartment in Beckermet, Lucy started the lease extension process as the 80 year mark was rapidly approaching. The legal work was concluded in September 2007. The landlord’s charges were kept to an absolute minimum.
Last May we were contacted by Ms Georgina Morris , who acquired a newly refurbished flat in Beckermet in May 2011. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical properties in Beckermet with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £285,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced monthly. The lease terminated on 23 July 2098. Having 72 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of professional charges.
Last April we were called by Mr and Mrs. B Gómez , who bought a garden flat in Beckermet in November 2007. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium could be for a 90 year lease extension. Identical flats in Beckermet with 100 year plus lease were valued about £233,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 billed every twelve months. The lease ended in 2087. Considering the 61 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £22,800 and £26,400 plus fees.
