Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, this is a ‘time-limited’ interest becoming shorter every day. your lease will normally be granted for a prescribed period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have seen longer and shorter terms in Llanon. Inevitably, the length of lease left reduces as time goes by. This is often ignored and only becomes a problem when the flat or house has to be disposed of or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more expensive it will be to extend the lease. Eligible leaseholders in Llanon have the legal entitlement to extend the lease for a further ninety years in accordance with legislation. Please give careful consideration before putting off your Llanon lease extension. Holding off that expense now simply increases the price you will eventually incur for a lease extension
It is generally accepted that a property with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Last Spring David, started to get close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his basement apartment in Llanon. Having bought his home two decades ago, the lease term was of no relevance. by good luck, it dawned on him that he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. David extended the lease just under the wire last March. David and the landlord who owned the flat above eventually agreed on an amount of £6,000 . If the lease had fallen lower than eighty years, the price would have gone up by a minimum £900.
Last Christmas we were contacted by Dr Daniel Cook , who took over the lease of a newly refurbished flat in Llanon in January 1996. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would likely be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable premises in Llanon with an extended lease were worth £270,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 collected yearly. The lease came to a finish in 2101. Given that there were 75 years remaining we estimated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
Mr and Mrs. P Leroy acquired a one bedroom apartment in Llanon in May 2004. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable homes in Llanon with a long lease were worth £168,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 collected yearly. The lease expired in 2081. Having 55 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £30,400 and £35,200 not including expenses.
