Glan Conwy leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has about 90 years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If lease term falls under eighty years, you will then be required to pay half of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to your landlord. Marriage value is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add to the property. Leasehold owners in Glan Conwy will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to check your eligibility. In certain cases you may not qualify. There are prescribed timetables and procedures to comply with once the process is triggered so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
