When it comes to domestic leasehold property in Quinton, you are actually buying an entitlement to reside in a property for a set period of time. In recent years flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you should think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially when there are less than eighty years left. Residents in Quinton with a lease drawing near to 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it sooner as opposed to later. When a lease has under eighty years remaining, under the relevant Act the landlord can calculate and levy a larger amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is due.
It is generally accepted that a property with more than 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Two years ago Hugo, started to get near to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his ground floor apartment in Quinton. In buying his property 19 years previously, the lease term was of no bearing. As luck would have it, he realised he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Hugo extended the lease just in the nick of time in May. Hugo and the freeholder eventually agreed on sum of £5,000 . If he had missed the deadline, the premium would have gone up by at least £1,125.
Mr and Mrs. M Bernard completed a garden apartment in Quinton in May 1999. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar homes in Quinton with 100 year plus lease were valued around £260,200. The average ground rent payable was £65 collected annually. The lease terminated on 6 April 2092. Considering the 66 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £16,200 and £18,600 plus expenses.
Last Summer we were e-mailed by Mr K Moreau , who owned a first floor flat in Quinton in September 2005.
