With a long leasehold premises in Cherry Willingham, you are actually buying an entitlement to live in a property for a prescribed time frame. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a long period of time, you may consider a lease extension sooner rather than later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially once there are fewer than eighty years left. Residents in Cherry Willingham with a lease approaching 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. Once the lease term has below 80 years remaining, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and levy a larger amount, based on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.
