The nearer a residential lease in Mickleover nears to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the residual term has, in excess of 100 years remaining then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than 80 years remaining 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 main rational as to why you should consider extending sooner than later. Many flat owners in Mickleover will qualify for this right; however a conveyancer can advise if you qualify for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
Leasehold properties in Mickleover with in excess of one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
