The rule of thumb is, all other factors being equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Rhosneigr may extend the lease for a further ninety years in accordance with legislation. Do give careful consideration before delaying your Rhosneigr lease extension. Shelving that expense now simply escalates the amount you will ultimately have to pay to extend the lease.
Leasehold properties in Rhosneigr with more than 100 years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges warrant it.

Lucas owned a 2 bedroom apartment in Rhosneigr being sold with a lease of a little over fifty eight years left. Lucas on an informal basis approached his landlord a well known Bristol-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was keen to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent to start with set at £150 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Lucas to invoke his statutory right. Lucas obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make an informed judgement and deal with the matter and sell the flat.
Mr and Mrs. N Clark moved into a purpose-built flat in Rhosneigr in January 1997. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable homes in Rhosneigr with an extended lease were worth £295,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced annually. The lease terminated on 18 August 2100. Taking into account 74 years remaining we calculated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of legals.
Dr Freddie Peterson completed a studio apartment in Rhosneigr in March 2002. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension.

Having 63 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £20,000 and £23,000 not including fees.
