Resolven leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has about ninety years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for a lease extension to be in place before the term of the current lease dips below eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be payable. Leasehold owners in Resolven will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancer to confirm if you qualify. In certain circumstances you may not qualify. There are prescribed timetables and formalities to follow once the process has commenced so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
Leasehold properties in Resolven with in excess of 100 years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.

Mr J Sánchez acquired a garden apartment in Resolven in January 2003. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative flats in Resolven with a long lease were in the region of £270,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 invoiced every twelve months. The lease concluded in 2101. Taking into account 75 years remaining we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
Last Autumn we were phoned by Mr Samuel Morgan , who took over the lease of a ground floor apartment in Resolven in April 2003. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar premises in Resolven with an extended lease were worth £168,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 invoiced yearly. The lease ended on 15 January 2081. Having 55 years as a residual term we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.
