There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in North Cornelly is a wasting asset as a result of the diminishing lease term. Where the residual term has, in excess of 100 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 remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease sooner rather than later. Many flat owners in North Cornelly will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a conveyancing solicitor can advise whether you qualify for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Dexter was the the leasehold owner of a studio apartment in North Cornelly on the market with a lease of a little over fifty eight years remaining. Dexter informally approached his landlord a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was keen to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £200 per annum. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Dexter to exercise his statutory right. Dexter procured expert advice and was able to make an informed judgement and handle with the matter and sell the property.
In 2013 we were called by Dr R Evans who, having acquired a one bedroom flat in North Cornelly in January 2010. The question was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable residencies in North Cornelly with 100 year plus lease were valued about £218,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 collected every twelve months. The lease ran out on 6 January 2089. Having 63 years as a residual term we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £17,100 and £19,800 not including expenses.
Last May we were called by Mr and Mrs. R Gómez , who was assigned a lease of a basement flat in North Cornelly in November 2009. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Comparative homes in North Cornelly with an extended lease were in the region of £265,000. The average amount of ground rent was £55 invoiced yearly. The lease ended on 19 May 2100. Taking into account 74 years remaining we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including costs.
