Nether Stowey leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has in the region of ninety years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. Eighty years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease dips below this level then you begin incurring an additional element called marriage value. Flat owners in Nether Stowey will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancer to check your eligibility. In certain circumstances you may not be entitled. There are prescribed timetables and steps to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
Leasehold properties in Nether Stowey with over one hundred years outstanding 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 premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Last Spring we were phoned by Mr B López , who purchased a ground floor apartment in Nether Stowey in February 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Similar premises in Nether Stowey with a long lease were in the region of £240,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced yearly. The lease came to a finish in 2088. Taking into account 62 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £21,900 and £25,200 not including professional charges.
Ms Mollie Gray completed a purpose-built flat in Nether Stowey in April 1997.
