As the length of the unexpired term of a Ormskirk residential lease diminished so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the lease has, beyond one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be fractional that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has under than eighty years left 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 main rational as to why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Ormskirk will meet the qualifying criteria; however a conveyancer can advise if you are eligible for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

In the wake of 6 months of unsuccessful correspondence with the freeholder of her two bedroom apartment in Ormskirk, Ellen started the lease extension process just as her lease was nearing the all-important eighty-year threshold.

In 2012 we were called by Ms Y Norbert who, having moved into a studio flat in Ormskirk in June 2006. The question was if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable homes in Ormskirk with a long lease were worth £285,000. The average ground rent payable was £55 collected per annum. The lease elapsed in 2106. Given that there were 80 years left we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including costs.
Mr L Clark owned a basement flat in Ormskirk in July 2005. We are asked if we could estimate the premium could be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Comparative homes in Ormskirk with a long lease were valued about £200,800. The average ground rent payable was £65 collected yearly. The lease terminated in 2086. Taking into account 60 years left we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £20,900 and £24,200 exclusive of expenses.
