Unfortunately that a Coningsby residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value drops in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Coningsby property prices.Once your lease nears 85ish years, you should start considering a lease extension. If lease term dips under eighty years, you will end up paying 50% of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. Marriage value is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add the property Most flat owners in Coningsby will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer will be able to confirm whether you are eligibility. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to follow once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancing solicitor for the duration of the process.
Leasehold premises in Coningsby with over 100 years outstanding on the lease are often referred to as ‘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 maintenance charges merit it.

Lucas was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio flat in Coningsby on the market with a lease of a little over 72 years remaining. Lucas informally spoke with his landlord being a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease.
