When it comes to residential leasehold property in Boldon Colliery, you are in fact renting it for a certain period of time. In recent years flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a long period of time, you should think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly notably once there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Boldon Colliery with a lease nearing 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. Once the lease term has less than 80 years left, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and levy a larger amount, based on a technical computation, known as “marriage value” which is due.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
