Unfortunately that a Ruislip Manor residential lease is a wasting asset. As the lease term diminishes so does the value of the property. The extent of this is not fully appreciated in the early years due to the deflation being disguised by increases in the Ruislip Manor property market.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you need to start thinking about a lease extension. If lease term dips under eighty years, you will then be required to pay 50% of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. The marriage fee is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add the property Most leasehold owners in Ruislip Manor will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer will be able to clarify if you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to be adhered to once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancing solicitor throughout the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Eliot was the the leasehold owner of a studio apartment in Ruislip Manor on the market with a lease of just over 59 years outstanding. Eliot on an informal basis approached his freeholder being a well known local-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord was keen to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £100 yearly. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Eliot to invoke his statutory right. Eliot procured expert legal guidance and was able to make a more informed judgement and deal with the matter and sell the property.
Last month we were approach by Dr D Pérez , who was assigned a lease of a purpose-built flat in Ruislip Manor in March 2004. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical premises in Ruislip Manor with an extended lease were in the region of £183,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced monthly. The lease expired on 7 September 2083. Having 57 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £28,500 and £33,000 plus costs.
