When it comes to domestic leasehold premises in Sewardstonebury, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. In recent years flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you should consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately more expensive particularly once there are less than 80 years left. Anyone in Sewardstonebury with a lease approaching 81 years left should seriously think of extending it as soon as possible. Once a lease has less than 80 years outstanding, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is payable.
Leasehold residencies in Sewardstonebury with over one hundred 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 to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
