Ryhall leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has in the region of 90 years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease dips below this level then you start incurring an additional element called marriage value. Leasehold owners in Ryhall will usually qualify for a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a lawyer to check if you qualify. In certain situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and formalities to follow once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
Leasehold premises in Ryhall with more than 100 years outstanding on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

John was the the leasehold proprietor of a conversion flat in Ryhall on the market with a lease of a few days over 59 years remaining. John informally contacted his landlord being a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent to start with set at £100 per annum and doubled every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were John to invoke his statutory right. John obtained expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable resolution without going to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
In 2012 we were phoned by Dr Y Davies who, having owned a studio flat in Ryhall in August 2002. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would likely be to extend the lease by an additional years. Similar premises in Ryhall with an extended lease were worth £216,000. The average amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced monthly. The lease ended on 12 January 2084. Considering the 58 years as a residual term we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £28,500 and £33,000 exclusive of costs.
Last Autumn we were called by Mr and Mrs. C Leroy , who moved into a first floor flat in Ryhall in May 1996. We are asked if we could estimate the price would be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Identical properties in Ryhall with 100 year plus lease were valued around £200,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 collected quarterly. The lease lapsed in 2104. Having 78 years remaining we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of professional charges.
