With a domestic leasehold property in Brampton, you are actually buying a right to reside in a property for a set 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 may think about a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Anyone in Brampton with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. Once a lease has below eighty years remaining, under the current Act the landlord is entitled to calculate and charge a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold residencies in Brampton with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Last Spring Elijah, started to get near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his studio apartment in Brampton. Having bought his flat twenty years ago, the unexpired term was of little relevance. Fortunately, he recognised he would soon be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Elijah extended the lease just under the wire last June. Elijah and the landlord who owned the flat above ultimately settled on a premium of £5,000 . If he not met the deadline, the premium would have increased by at least £1,150.
