The rule of thumb is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Carmel can extend the lease for an additional 90 years in accordance with statute. Please give careful consideration before delaying your Carmel lease extension. Postponing that expense today simply increases the price you will eventually have to pay to extend the lease.
Leasehold premises in Carmel with more than one hundred years unexpired 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 circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

After protracted negotiations with the landlord of her leasehold apartment in Carmel, Phoebe started the lease extension process as the 80 year mark was quickly nearing. The lease extension completed in October 2015. The landlord’s costs were kept to an absolute minimum.
Last August we were approach by Dr Bethany James , who completed a ground floor apartment in Carmel in August 2010. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Identical residencies in Carmel with an extended lease were in the region of £205,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced every twelve months. The lease finished in 2104. Taking into account 78 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of expenses.
In 2010 we were contacted by Ms Robyn López who, having took over the lease of a first floor apartment in Carmel in June 2010. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Identical properties in Carmel with an extended lease were worth £267,600. The average amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced monthly. The lease terminated on 14 June 2093. Considering the 67 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £14,300 and £16,400 not including fees.
