As the length of the unexpired term of a Rossett domestic lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, more than one hundred years to run then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending sooner as opposed to later. Many flat owners in Rossett will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer can advise whether you are eligible to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold premises in Rossett with over 100 years remaining on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Michael was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio apartment in Rossett being sold with a lease of a little over 61 years outstanding. Michael on an informal basis contacted his freeholder a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to 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 Michael to invoke his statutory right. Michael procured expert legal guidance and secured satisfactory resolution without going to tribunal and readily saleable.
Ms G Young took over the lease of a one bedroom apartment in Rossett in January 2010. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable homes in Rossett with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £265,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 collected annually. The lease expiry date was in 2099. Having 73 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 exclusive of professional charges.
Last year we were e-mailed by Dr U Laurent , who completed a studio apartment in Rossett in March 2004. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by an additional years. Comparable homes in Rossett with a long lease were worth £264,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced yearly. The lease expired in 2079. Given that there were 53 years unexpired we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £37,100 and £42,800 not including expenses.
