There is no doubt about it a leasehold flat or house in Hathern is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. Where the residual term has, in excess of one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending without delay. The majority of flat owners in Hathern will meet the qualifying criteria; however a conveyancing solicitor can advise if you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Ms Y López acquired a garden apartment in Hathern in September 2003. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative homes in Hathern with an extended lease were valued about £198,800. The average ground rent payable was £55 billed yearly. The lease expired in 2081. Considering the 55 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £33,300 and £38,400 exclusive of fees.
Mr and Mrs. L Norbert acquired a newly refurbished flat in Hathern in February 2011. The question was if we could estimate the premium could be for a 90 year lease extension.
