When it comes to residential leasehold premises in Goring, you are actually purchasing an entitlement 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 become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you may consider extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially when there are less than 80 years left. Anyone in Goring with a lease nearing 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it sooner rather than later. When a lease has below 80 years remaining, under the current Act the freeholder is entitled to calculate and charge a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is payable.
Leasehold residencies in Goring with in excess of 100 years left on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
