When it comes to residential leasehold premises in Hayling Island, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. In recent years flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you should consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly particularly when there are fewer than eighty years left. Leasehold owners in Hayling Island with a lease drawing near to 81 years left should seriously think of extending it sooner rather than later. Once the lease term has under 80 years left, under the current Act the landlord can calculate and levy a larger amount, assessed on a technical calculation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold residencies in Hayling Island with more than one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Dr Michael Scott owned a studio flat in Hayling Island in July 1997. We are asked if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease.

Last Spring we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. A Rodríguez , who acquired a first floor flat in Hayling Island in January 2000. The dilemma was if we could approximate the price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparable residencies in Hayling Island with a long lease were in the region of £225,400. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 collected monthly. The lease elapsed in 2090. Considering the 64 years as a residual term we calculated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £16,200 and £18,600 not including costs.
