When it comes to long leasehold premises in Royton, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you may think about a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially once there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Royton with a lease drawing near to 81 years unexpired should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. When the lease term has below eighty years remaining, under the relevant legislation the landlord is entitled to calculate and levy a larger premium, assessed on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
Leasehold premises in Royton with over 100 years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.
