With a domestic leasehold premises in Pyle, you effectively rent it for a certain period of time. In recent years flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you may consider extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially once there are less than 80 years left. Residents in Pyle with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it as soon as possible. When a lease has fewer than 80 years outstanding, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and charge a greater premium, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is payable.
It is generally considered that a property with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Off the back of unsuccessful negotiations with the landlord of her ground floor flat in Pyle, Grace initiated the lease extension process as the 80 year threshold was swiftly coming. The lease extension was concluded in September 2007. The freeholder’s costs were restricted to a tad over 700 GBP.
In 2014 we were contacted by Dr H Anderson who, having acquired a purpose-built flat in Pyle in February 1998. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical flats in Pyle with an extended lease were worth £260,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 collected monthly. The lease terminated on 1 June 2098. Considering the 72 years outstanding we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including legals.
In 2013 we were phoned by Mr Jack Michel who, having completed a basement apartment in Pyle in January 2006.

Comparative flats in Pyle with a long lease were valued around £256,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 collected per annum. The lease termination date was on 2 July 2078. Having 52 years left we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £39,000 and £45,000 not including expenses.
