The nearer a residential lease in Bryncoch gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the lease has, in excess of one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending sooner than later. Most flat owners in Bryncoch will qualify for this right; nevertheless a conveyancing solicitor should be able to confirm whether you are eligible to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years remaining, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Two years ago Oscar, came critically near to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his first floor flat in Bryncoch. Having purchased his property 19 years previously, the length of the lease was of minimal relevance. Thankfully, he recognised he needed to take action soon on a lease extension. Oscar arranged for a lease extension just under the wire last March. Oscar and the landlord who owned the flat above eventually settled on sum of £6,000 . If the lease had gone lower than eighty years, the sum would have gone up by at least £1,025.
Dr F Moreau acquired a one bedroom flat in Bryncoch in April 2001. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative premises in Bryncoch with an extended lease were in the region of £166,400. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 billed every twelve months. The lease finished in 2080. Having 54 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £32,300 and £37,400 plus legals.
Last Christmas we were called by Mrs V André , who purchased a ground floor apartment in Bryncoch in May 2004. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical homes in Bryncoch with a long lease were valued around £227,800. The average ground rent payable was £45 invoiced every twelve months. The lease finished on 6 August 2091. Taking into account 65 years unexpired we calculated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 plus costs.
