Bingley residential property held on a long lease is a depreciating asset as the leaseholder only owns the property for a set term.
Leasehold residencies in Bingley with more than one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges warrant it.

Half a year ago Elijah, came critically close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his garden flat in Bingley. In buying his property two decades ago, the length of the lease was of little importance. Thankfully, he noticed he would imminently be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Elijah was able to extend his lease just ahead of time last January. Elijah and the freeholder subsequently agreed on sum of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the amount would have increased by a minimum £950.
Dr V Edwards moved into a basement flat in Bingley in September 2008. The question was if we could estimate the premium could be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparative residencies in Bingley with an extended lease were in the region of £186,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 collected quarterly. The lease ended in 2084. Having 58 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £24,700 and £28,600 plus costs.
Ms B García acquired a one bedroom flat in Bingley in June 1996. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price would likely be for a 90 year lease extension.
