When it comes to domestic leasehold premises in Frinton and Walton, you are actually purchasing 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 long period of time, you should consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly particularly when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Frinton and Walton with a lease nearing 81 years left should seriously consider extending it without delay. Once the lease term has under eighty years remaining, under the current Act the freeholder is entitled to calculate and demand a larger amount, based on a technical calculation, known as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold premises in Frinton and Walton with more than 100 years left on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.
