The only way is down when it comes to Camberley lease terms. Camberley properties that have a remaining term lower than 80 years will de-escalate in value even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will go up.
Leasehold properties in Camberley with more than one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

| Chelsea Building Society | 85 years from the date of completion of the mortgage. Please ensure that you explain the implications of a short term lease to the borrower. |

Following unsuccessful discussions with the freeholder of her first floor apartment in Camberley, Sophia commenced the lease extension process as the 80 year deadline was swiftly advancing. The transaction was concluded in February 2014. The landlord’s fees were kept to an absolute minimum.
Last year we were phoned by Dr Daniel Miller , who took over the lease of a studio apartment in Camberley in September 2011. We are asked if we could estimate the price would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparable homes in Camberley with 100 year plus lease were valued about £193,400. The average ground rent payable was £65 billed yearly. The lease came to a finish in 2085. Considering the 59 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £21,900 and £25,200 exclusive of expenses.
Last Summer we were contacted by Mrs Caitlin García , who took over the lease of a first floor apartment in Camberley in February 2001. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Identical premises in Camberley with an extended lease were valued about £255,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 collected yearly. The lease ended on 23 September 2096. Having 70 years remaining we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
