If lease term falls below eighty years, you will end up paying half of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. The marriage fee is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add the property The majority of flat owners in Ketton will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer will be able to clarify whether you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timetables and procedures to be adhered to once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your lawyer throughout the formalities.
