As the the remaining lease term of a Nettleham residential lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the lease has, in excess of 99 years to run then this decrease may be fractional that being said there will become a stage when a lease has fewer than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending without delay. The majority of flat owners in Nettleham will qualify for this right; nevertheless a conveyancer should be able to confirm whether you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is generally accepted that a property with in excess of one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Last Christmas Leon, started to get near to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his ground floor flat in Nettleham. Having purchased his flat two decades ago, the unexpired term was of minimal concern. Thankfully, it dawned on him that he needed to take action soon on Extending the lease. Leon extended the lease just ahead of time in August. Leon and the freeholder in the end settled on the final figure of £6,000 . If the lease had slid lower than eighty years, the premium would have gone up by at least £900.
Last Summer we were e-mailed by Ms C Wilson , who moved into a studio apartment in Nettleham in March 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar residencies in Nettleham with 100 year plus lease were valued around £265,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 billed every twelve months. The lease finished in 2100. Given that there were 74 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £9,500 and £11,000 exclusive of legals.
In 2014 we were approached by Dr U Girard who, having owned a first floor flat in Nettleham in June 2008. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable residencies in Nettleham with 100 year plus lease were worth £166,400. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected every twelve months. The lease terminated in 2080. Given that there were 54 years unexpired we estimated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £32,300 and £37,400 plus costs.
