Kinmel Bay leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has about ninety years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is financially advisable for your lease extension to take place before the term of the current lease drops under eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Leasehold owners in Kinmel Bay will usually qualify for a lease extension; however It would be wise to check with a lawyer to confirm if you qualify. In some situations you may not be entitled. There are prescribed deadlines and procedures to follow once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
Leasehold premises in Kinmel Bay with over 100 years outstanding on the lease are often 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 upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Last year Harry, started to get close to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his garden apartment in Kinmel Bay. Having bought his property two decades ago, the length of the lease was of minimal significance. Thankfully, he became aware that he would imminently be paying way over the odds for a lease extension. Harry extended the lease just ahead of time last April. Harry and the landlord who owned the flat above in the end settled on the final figure of £5,000 . If he not met the deadline, the premium would have become more costly by a minimum £1,025.
