As the the remaining lease term of a Bloxham domestic lease diminished so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, over 100 years to run then this decrease may be negligible that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than 80 years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Bloxham will meet the qualifying criteria; however a conveyancer should be able to advise whether you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Last Autumn we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. H Williams , who took over the lease of a studio apartment in Bloxham in June 2005.

Comparable premises in Bloxham with a long lease were valued about £255,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 billed quarterly. The lease expired on 6 January 2097.
