The market value of a leasehold property in Ladbroke Grove depends on how long the lease has remaining. If it is close to or fewer than eighty years you should foresee difficulties on re-sale, so it is advisable to arrange for a lease extension before buying. Ideally one should start the lease extension process when a lease still has 82 years unexpired so that all matters can be addressed ahead of the eighty year cut off point. Statute entitles Ladbroke Grove qualifying lessees to obtain a new lease which will be for the balance of the existing lease plus an additional term of ninety years. The intention of the valuation is to determine the premium payable by the lessee to the freeholder for the acquisition of the lease extension.
Leasehold residencies in Ladbroke Grove with more than 100 years unexpired 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 estate charges merit it.

Comparable premises in Ladbroke Grove with a long lease were worth £227,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced quarterly. The lease came to a finish in 2091.
