With a long leasehold property in Bradley Stoke, you are actually purchasing an entitlement to live in a property for a set period of time. In recent years flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you may think about extending the lease sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately more expensive especially once there are less than eighty years remaining. Residents in Bradley Stoke with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it as soon as possible. When a lease has below eighty years outstanding, under the relevant statute the landlord can calculate and demand a greater amount, assessed on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold premises in Bradley Stoke with in excess of one hundred years unexpired on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.
