The closer a residential lease in Horsford gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the lease has, more than 100 years to run then this decrease may be fractional that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has less than eighty years unexpired 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 reason why you should consider extending without delay. The majority of flat owners in Horsford will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer can confirm if you are eligible to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Kai owned a conversion apartment in Horsford on the market with a lease of fraction over 61 years unexpired. Kai informally contacted his freeholder a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent to start with set at £200 per annum and increase every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Kai to invoke his statutory right. Kai obtained expert legal guidance and secured satisfactory resolution informally and readily saleable.
Mr and Mrs. T Smith bought a basement flat in Horsford in July 2001. The dilemma was if we could approximate the premium could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical homes in Horsford with an extended lease were worth £233,200. The average ground rent payable was £60 invoiced monthly. The lease concluded in 2087. Having 61 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £22,800 and £26,400 plus expenses.
