Owning a flat usually means owning a lease of the property, this is a ‘time-limited’ interest becoming shorter every day. your lease will usually be granted for a fixed period of time , usually 99 or 125 years, although we have seen longer and shorter terms in Pensysarn. Inevitably, the period of lease remaining shortens over time. This is often overlooked and only becomes a problem when the residence needs to be disposed of or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the lower the value of the property and the more expensive it will be to extend the lease. Qualifying leaseholders in Pensysarn have the right to extend the lease for an additional 90 years under legislation. Do give careful consideration before delaying your Pensysarn lease extension. Holding off that expense now likely increases the price you will eventually incur for a lease extension
Leasehold properties in Pensysarn with in excess of 100 years unexpired on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth 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 service charges justify it.

Last Summer Adam, came precariously close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his purpose- built apartment in Pensysarn. Having purchased his property 19 years ago, the length of the lease was of minimal importance. As luck would have it, he recognised he would imminently be paying way over the odds for a lease extension. Adam was able to extend his lease at the eleventh hour in March. Adam and the freeholder subsequently agreed on the final figure of £6,000 . If the lease had fallen below 80 years, the premium would have become more costly by a minimum £975.
Dr Catherine Vincent was assigned a lease of a first floor flat in Pensysarn in January 1996. We are asked if we could approximate the price could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative homes in Pensysarn with 100 year plus lease were valued about £242,600. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed every twelve months. The lease expiry date was in 2093. Having 67 years left we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £11,400 and £13,200 exclusive of professional charges.
In 2011 we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. D Lee who, having completed a garden flat in Pensysarn in April 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by 90 years. Comparative residencies in Pensysarn with an extended lease were valued around £280,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 invoiced per annum. The lease expired in 2104. Taking into account 78 years left we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 not including fees.
