Llanarth and Oakford leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has approximately 90 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 be in place before the term of the existing lease falls under eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable.

There are prescribed deadlines and procedures to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
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 ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
