The rule of thumb is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more costly the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Pentre can extend the lease for a further 90 years under statute. Please give careful consideration before delaying your Pentre lease extension. Postponing the costs now simply escalates the premium you will ultimately be required to pay for a lease extension.
It is generally considered that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Two years ago Tommy, came critically close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his two bedroom flat in Pentre. In buying his flat two decades ago, the lease term was of little relevance. Luckily, he became aware that he needed to take action soon on Extending the lease. Tommy extended the lease at the eleventh hour last March. Tommy and the freeholder via the managing agents subsequently settled on an amount of £5,500 . If the lease had dropped below 80 years, the amount would have escalated by a minimum £950.
