There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in Great Wyrley is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. If the lease has, more than 125 years to run then this decrease may be fractional that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main logic behind why you should extend the lease sooner than later. Most flat owners in Great Wyrley will qualify for this right; however a lawyer can advise whether you are eligible to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.

This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property.
