There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in Manselton is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. If the residual term has, in excess of 125 years remaining then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease sooner than later. Most flat owners in Manselton will meet the qualifying criteria; nevertheless a conveyancing solicitor can advise if you are eligible for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold residencies in Manselton with in excess of 100 years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’.

In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Luca was the the leasehold proprietor of a conversion flat in Manselton on the market with a lease of just over 61 years outstanding. Luca informally spoke with his landlord a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent at the outset set at £150 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Luca to exercise his statutory right. Luca procured expert legal guidance and secured satisfactory deal informally and sell the property.
In 2013 we were phoned by Dr Joshua Gómez who, having moved into a basement flat in Manselton in November 2010. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would likely be to extend the lease by an additional years. Similar residencies in Manselton with a long lease were worth £260,200. The average amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced annually. The lease elapsed on 17 July 2092. Taking into account 66 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £16,200 and £18,600 not including costs.
In 2013 we were called by Mr Aarav Rose who, having acquired a recently refurbished flat in Manselton in September 2012. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Similar homes in Manselton with 100 year plus lease were valued around £198,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £55 billed yearly. The lease concluded on 7 March 2081. Taking into account 55 years unexpired we estimated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £33,300 and £38,400 not including legals.
