When it comes to domestic leasehold property in East Boldon, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you may think about extending the lease sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Residents in East Boldon with a lease approaching 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it sooner rather than later. When a lease has below eighty years outstanding, under the relevant Act the freeholder can calculate and demand a larger amount, assessed on a technical computation, known as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold premises in East Boldon with in excess of one hundred years remaining on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.

Last Christmas we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. Y Gómez , who took over the lease of a garden apartment in East Boldon in November 1997. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative flats in East Boldon with an extended lease were worth £193,400. The average amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced every twelve months. The lease finished in 2085. Considering the 59 years outstanding we estimated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £21,900 and £25,200 plus costs.
Mrs L Morris moved into a one bedroom apartment in East Boldon in June 2001. The dilemma was if we could approximate the price would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical homes in East Boldon with 100 year plus lease were valued about £255,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 billed yearly. The lease finished on 25 October 2096. Taking into account 70 years left we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £10,500 and £12,000 exclusive of professional charges.
