The nearer a residential lease in Danescourt nears to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the residual term has, over 99 years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact however there will become a stage when a lease has fewer than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending sooner than later. Most flat owners in Danescourt will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer should be able to advise if you qualify for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold premises in Danescourt with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Reuben was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio apartment in Danescourt being sold with a lease of a little over fifty eight years unexpired. Reuben on an informal basis approached his freeholder being a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was prepared to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £125 annually. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Reuben to invoke his statutory right. Reuben procured expert advice and was able to make a more informed decision and deal with the matter and sell the property.
Dr P Hernández took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Danescourt in November 1999. The question was if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative residencies in Danescourt with a long lease were in the region of £200,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced every twelve months. The lease finished on 24 September 2104. Considering the 78 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of costs.
In 2013 we were contacted by Mr George Morel who, having acquired a basement apartment in Danescourt in January 2008. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical homes in Danescourt with an extended lease were worth £267,600. The average amount of ground rent was £65 collected monthly. The lease concluded on 8 September 2093. Considering the 67 years unexpired we calculated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £14,300 and £16,400 not including expenses.
