Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a set term of years. your lease will ordinarily be granted for a set period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have seen longer and shorter terms in Llanybydder. Clearly, the term of lease left reduces as time goes by. This is often overlooked and only becomes a problem when the flat or house has to be sold or re-mortgaged. The fewer the years remaining the lower the value of the property and the more it will cost to extend the lease. Qualifying long lease owners in Llanybydder have the legal entitlement to extend the lease for an additional 90 years under Leasehold Reform legislation. Please give due attention before putting off your Llanybydder lease extension. Putting off the cost now simply increases the price you will eventually have to pay for a lease extension
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Mr and Mrs. O Sharif was assigned a lease of a purpose-built apartment in Llanybydder in January 1995. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price could be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparable flats in Llanybydder with 100 year plus lease were valued about £200,800. The average amount of ground rent was £65 billed quarterly. The lease ended on 19 September 2086. Given that there were 60 years outstanding we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £20,900 and £24,200 plus legals.
