With a long leasehold premises in Nunthorpe, you are actually purchasing a right to reside in a property for a prescribed time frame. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you may think about extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater especially when there are fewer than 80 years left. Residents in Nunthorpe with a lease nearing 81 years unexpired should seriously consider extending it without delay. Once a lease has under 80 years outstanding, under the relevant Act the freeholder is entitled to calculate and charge a larger amount, assessed on a technical computation, known as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold properties in Nunthorpe with more than 100 years left 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 circumstances there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.
