Ludgershall leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has about 90 years unexpired, you should start thinking about a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is financially advisable for the lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease falls below 80 years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Leasehold owners in Ludgershall will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor will check your eligibility. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timetables and steps to comply with once the process has started so it’s wise to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
Leasehold premises in Ludgershall with over one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

Last Spring Zachary, started to get near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his purpose- built apartment in Ludgershall. In buying his flat twenty years previously, the unexpired term was of minimal importance. Luckily, he became aware that he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Zachary extended the lease just ahead of time last January. Zachary and the freeholder eventually agreed on sum of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the amount would have gone up by a minimum £1,125.
Dr W André bought a basement apartment in Ludgershall in October 1995. We are asked if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Identical residencies in Ludgershall with an extended lease were worth £176,200. The average ground rent payable was £65 collected monthly. The lease lapsed on 15 April 2082. Considering the 56 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £29,500 and £34,000 plus professional charges.
Last year we were called by Mr and Mrs. C Rodríguez , who bought a garden apartment in Ludgershall in June 2003.
