Nuthall leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. Where your lease has in the region of 90 years unexpired, you should start thinking about a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease falls below this level then you start incurring an additional element called marriage value. Flat owners in Nuthall will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor should be able confirm if you qualify. In certain situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and steps to comply with once the process has started so it’s wise to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
Leasehold properties in Nuthall with in excess of one hundred years unexpired 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 home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Following unsuccessful correspondence with the landlord of her first floor flat in Nuthall, Isabelle initiated the lease extension process as the eighty year threshold was swiftly coming. The transaction was finalised in March 2007. The landlord’s costs were negotiated to under 600 pounds.
Last Christmas we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. A Phillips , who completed a garden apartment in Nuthall in February 1999. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparable homes in Nuthall with an extended lease were valued about £264,000. The average ground rent payable was £60 collected yearly. The lease expiry date was in 2079. Given that there were 53 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £37,100 and £42,800 not including fees.
Mr and Mrs. A Phillips took over the lease of a studio apartment in Nuthall in May 1998. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative residencies in Nuthall with 100 year plus lease were worth £225,400. The average amount of ground rent was £45 billed monthly. The lease ended on 12 November 2090. Having 64 years as a residual term we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £15,200 and £17,600 exclusive of professional charges.
