Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, this is a ‘time-limited’ interest becoming shorter every day. The lease will normally be granted for a prescribed period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have witnessed longer and shorter terms in Nantyglo. Clearly, the term of lease left shortens as time goes by. This may slip by relatively unnoticed when the residence needs to be sold or re-mortgaged. The fewer the years remaining the lower the value of the property and the more it will cost to extend the lease. Eligible long lease owners in Nantyglo have the legal entitlement to extend the lease for a further ninety years in accordance with legislation. Do give careful deliberation before putting off your Nantyglo lease extension. Holding off the cost now likely increases the price you will eventually incur to extend your lease
It is generally accepted that a property with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Dylan was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio apartment in Nantyglo being marketed with a lease of just over fifty eight years outstanding. Dylan informally spoke with his freeholder a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent to start with set at £150 per annum and increase every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Dylan to exercise his statutory right. Dylan procured expert advice and secured satisfactory resolution without resorting to tribunal and sell the flat.
Mr and Mrs. P Adams acquired a basement apartment in Nantyglo in November 1997. We are asked if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative homes in Nantyglo with an extended lease were valued about £300,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 collected monthly. The lease termination date was on 18 February 2102. Having 76 years left we calculated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of professional charges.
Last July we were contacted by Mr G Roberts , who acquired a one bedroom flat in Nantyglo in April 2011.
