Owning a flat usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a finite term of years. This lease will normally be granted for a fixed period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have come across longer and shorter terms in Dulas and Nebo. Clearly, the length of lease left reduces over time. This is often ignored and only raises itself as an issue when the property has to be sold or refinanced. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more it will cost to extend the lease. Qualifying long lease owners in Dulas and Nebo have the legal entitlement to extend the lease for an additional 90 years in accordance with Leasehold Reform legislation. Please give due deliberation before putting off your Dulas and Nebo lease extension. Putting off that expense now only increases the price you will ultimately incur to extend your lease
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Off the back of lengthy negotiations with the landlord of her ground floor apartment in Dulas and Nebo, Nicole initiated the lease extension process as the eighty year deadline was rapidly advancing. The lease extension was finalised in February 2009. The freeholder’s charges were kept to an absolute minimum.
In 2012 we were e-mailed by Dr A Ricardo who, having took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Dulas and Nebo in March 2010. The question was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by an additional years. Identical flats in Dulas and Nebo with an extended lease were in the region of £215,600. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed every twelve months. The lease elapsed on 2 July 2088. Given that there were 62 years outstanding we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £18,100 and £20,800 plus costs.
Last month we were phoned by Dr T Gómez , who purchased a purpose-built apartment in Dulas and Nebo in March 2000. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparative flats in Dulas and Nebo with a long lease were worth £265,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 invoiced annually. The lease termination date was in 2099. Taking into account 73 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus fees.
