As the length of the unexpired term of a Hilperton domestic lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the residual term has, more than 125 years to run then this decrease may be negligible however there will become a stage when a lease has under than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Hilperton will qualify for this right; that being said a conveyancer should be able to confirm whether you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
Leasehold premises in Hilperton with in excess of one hundred years unexpired on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Connor owned a studio flat in Hilperton on the market with a lease of a few days over 59 years unexpired. Connor informally spoke with his freeholder a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent at the outset set at £100 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Connor to invoke his statutory right. Connor procured expert advice and was able to make an informed judgement and deal with the matter and sell the flat.
Last Winter we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. Y Laurent , who completed a recently refurbished flat in Hilperton in September 1996. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical residencies in Hilperton with 100 year plus lease were worth £270,000. The average amount of ground rent was £55 collected monthly. The lease expired on 25 September 2101. Having 75 years left we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 exclusive of professional charges.
In 2009 we were approached by Dr O Martin who, having was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Hilperton in June 2010. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical flats in Hilperton with 100 year plus lease were valued about £173,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 collected monthly. The lease lapsed in 2081. Having 55 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus professional charges.
