When it comes to long leasehold property in Bulwell, you are in fact renting it for a certain period of time. Modern flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you may consider 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 greater notably when there are less than 80 years left. Anyone in Bulwell with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it sooner than later. When a lease has under eighty years outstanding, under the relevant legislation the freeholder is entitled to calculate and levy a larger amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
It is generally considered that a property with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Mr Thomas Johnson was assigned a lease of a ground floor apartment in Bulwell in June 2000. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical properties in Bulwell with an extended lease were worth £205,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 billed per annum. The lease elapsed in 2104. Taking into account 78 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 not including fees.
