The nearer a residential lease in Mickleover gets to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. If the residual term has, more than 100 years remaining then this decrease may be negligible nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has under than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Mickleover will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a conveyancer will be able to confirm if you are eligible to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years remaining, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

In 2014 Alex, came perilously near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his ground floor apartment in Mickleover. Having purchased his home two decades ago, the unexpired term was of little bearing. Luckily, he became aware that he needed to take action soon on a lease extension. Alex arranged for a lease extension just in the nick of time in June. Alex and the freeholder in the end agreed on an amount of £5,500 . If he had missed the deadline, the price would have increased by a minimum £925.
Last Summer we were e-mailed by Mr Noah Smith , who moved into a garden apartment in Mickleover in November 2010. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical homes in Mickleover with 100 year plus lease were worth £174,200. The average amount of ground rent was £55 billed per annum. The lease ended on 25 April 2077. Having 51 years as a residual term we estimated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £31,400 and £36,200 exclusive of legals.

The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 collected per annum. The lease lapsed on 1 January 2097.
