With a domestic leasehold property in Frenchay Common, you are actually buying a right to reside in a property for a prescribed time frame. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you may consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater particularly when there are less than 80 years left. Residents in Frenchay Common with a lease nearing 81 years unexpired should seriously consider extending it without delay. Once a lease has under 80 years left, under the relevant Act the landlord is entitled to calculate and charge a greater premium, based on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold residencies in Frenchay Common with more than one hundred years outstanding on the lease are often referred to as ‘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 freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.
