Llanbradach leases on domestic deteriorating in value. if your lease has approximately ninety years unexpired, you should start considering the need for 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 drops lower than eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Flat owners in Llanbradach will usually be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancer to check if you qualify. In certain situations you may not be entitled. There are prescribed timetables and formalities to comply with once the process is triggered so it’s prudent to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
Leasehold residencies in Llanbradach with more than one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

In the wake of eight months of lengthy correspondence with the freeholder of her basement apartment in Llanbradach, Jasmine commenced the lease extension process just as her lease was nearing the crucial 80-year mark. The legal work was concluded in October 2008. The landlord’s charges were kept to an absolute minimum.
Last Spring we were called by Dr Charlie Thomas , who moved into a first floor flat in Llanbradach in June 2005. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would likely be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparable premises in Llanbradach with a long lease were in the region of £215,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced yearly. The lease ended in 2087. Having 62 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £18,100 and £20,800 plus legals.
Last Winter we were called by Mr and Mrs. T Gray , who purchased a studio apartment in Llanbradach in June 2010. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar premises in Llanbradach with an extended lease were in the region of £265,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 billed every twelve months. The lease lapsed on 25 November 2098. Given that there were 73 years left we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including costs.
