Marriage value is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add to the property. Flat owners in Cherry Burton will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however It would be wise to check with a lawyer to check if you qualify. In certain circumstances you may not be entitled.

Leasehold premises in Cherry Burton with in excess of 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 home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges warrant it.
