St Annes Park leases on domestic deteriorating in value. Where your lease has in the region of ninety 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 begin incurring an additional element called marriage value. Leasehold owners in St Annes Park will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor should be able confirm if you qualify. In some situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to follow once the process has commenced so it’s prudent to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
Leasehold properties in St Annes Park with more than 100 years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

In recent months Aiden, started to get near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his garden apartment in St Annes Park. In buying his home two decades ago, the lease term was of no significance. by good luck, he became aware that he needed to take action soon on a lease extension. Aiden arranged for a lease extension just ahead of time last June. Aiden and the freeholder via the management company eventually settled on an amount of £5,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the price would have become more exhorbitant by a minimum £1,050.
Mr Nathaniel Baker was assigned a lease of a recently refurbished apartment in St Annes Park in July 2010. The question was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative homes in St Annes Park with 100 year plus lease were worth £246,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 invoiced monthly. The lease concluded in 2076. Given that there were 50 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £44,700 and £51,600 plus expenses.
Last year we were e-mailed by Dr Kelsey Bailey , who took over the lease of a basement apartment in St Annes Park in January 2011. We are asked if we could estimate the price would likely be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparative homes in St Annes Park with a long lease were valued about £203,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 invoiced quarterly. The lease terminated in 2087. Given that there were 61 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £19,000 and £22,000 plus expenses.
