With a long leasehold premises in Dymock, 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 lengthy period of time, you may think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater particularly once there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Residents in Dymock with a lease nearing 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it sooner than later. When the lease term has fewer than eighty years remaining, under the relevant legislation the landlord can calculate and demand a greater amount, based on a technical calculation, known as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold properties in Dymock with in excess of 100 years outstanding on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges warrant it.

Cameron was the the leasehold proprietor of a high value apartment in Dymock on the market with a lease of fraction over fifty eight years remaining. Cameron on an informal basis contacted his freeholder a well known Bristol-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was prepared to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £125 yearly. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Cameron to exercise his statutory right. Cameron obtained expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable deal without going to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
Last year we were approach by Dr D Lewis , who was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Dymock in June 1998. The question was if we could approximate the price would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar flats in Dymock with 100 year plus lease were valued about £208,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 billed per annum. The lease came to a finish in 2087. Taking into account 61 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £20,000 and £23,000 exclusive of legals.
Last Christmas we were contacted by Dr A James , who took over the lease of a garden flat in Dymock in May 2004. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would likely be to extend the lease by an additional years. Identical premises in Dymock with 100 year plus lease were worth £260,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 billed yearly. The lease expiry date was on 27 November 2098. Given that there were 72 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus expenses.
