The market value of Marazion leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of a lease extension can escalate materialy once the remaining term is less than 80 years
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Felix was the the leasehold owner of a high value flat in Marazion on the market with a lease of just over fifty eight years left. Felix on an informal basis approached his landlord a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £100 per annum and doubled every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Felix to invoke his statutory right. Felix procured expert advice and was able to make an informed decision and handle with the matter and readily saleable.
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.
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.
