As the the remaining lease term of a Nuthall domestic lease decreases 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 however there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the primary reason why you should consider extending sooner rather than later. Many flat owners in Nuthall will qualify for this right; however a lawyer will be able to advise if you are eligible 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.
Leasehold properties in Nuthall with in excess of one hundred years unexpired on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.

Last year Archie, came very near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his two bedroom apartment in Nuthall. In buying his flat two decades ago, the lease term was of minimal bearing. Thankfully, he became aware that he would imminently be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Archie extended the lease just under the wire last August. Archie and the landlord who owned the flat above ultimately settled on the final figure of £5,000 . If he not met the deadline, the price would have gone up by at least £1,100.
Last Summer we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. E Leroy , who was assigned a lease of a studio flat in Nuthall in February 1996. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar residencies in Nuthall with a long lease were valued around £260,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 billed yearly. The lease expiry date was in 2098. Considering the 72 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including fees.
Mr and Mrs. K Anderson was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Nuthall in August 2000. The question was if we could approximate the price could be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Similar residencies in Nuthall with a long lease were in the region of £261,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed every twelve months. The lease came to a finish on 5 March 2078. Taking into account 52 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £39,000 and £45,000 not including legals.
