Increase your lease and increase your Marazion property value

Marazion case:

Last Christmas we were called by Mr and Mrs. D Wilson , who took over the lease of a purpose-built apartment in Marazion in March 2000. We are asked if we could estimate the price would be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar residencies in Marazion with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £225,400. The average amount of ground rent was £45 billed annually. The lease lapsed on 10 March 2090. Considering the 64 years remaining we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £15,200 and £17,600 exclusive of professional charges.

Marazion case:

Last Winter we were e-mailed by Mr Sebastian Ali , who moved into a first floor apartment in Marazion in July 2011. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparable homes in Marazion with 100 year plus lease were valued around £270,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 invoiced every twelve months. The lease ended in 2101. Having 75 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 exclusive of fees.
