Gaydon leases on residential deteriorating in value. if your lease has about ninety years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is desirable for your lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease dips lower than eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Leasehold owners in Gaydon will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor will check your eligibility. In certain cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and formalities to follow once the process has started so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Mr M Rose took over the lease of a newly refurbished apartment in Gaydon in January 2000. The question was if we could approximate the price could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Similar properties in Gaydon with a long lease were valued around £176,200. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 billed every twelve months. The lease expired on 25 April 2082. Given that there were 56 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus fees.
