With a domestic leasehold property in Corwen, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. Modern flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a long period of time, you should think about a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately more expensive notably when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Residents in Corwen with a lease nearing 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it as soon as possible. When a lease has below 80 years remaining, under the current Act the landlord can calculate and levy a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is payable.
Leasehold properties in Corwen with in excess of 100 years left on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Mrs A Girard bought a purpose-built apartment in Corwen in April 2001. The question was if we could estimate the premium would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparative residencies in Corwen with 100 year plus lease were valued about £173,800. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected quarterly. The lease terminated in 2081. Given that there were 55 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £31,400 and £36,200 exclusive of professional charges.
