Unfortunately that a Stallingborough residential lease is a wasting asset. The lease value reduces in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is not fully appreciated in the early years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Stallingborough property market.Once your lease gets to 85ish years, you need to start considering a lease extension. If lease term dips below 80 years, you will end up paying 50% of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. Marriage value is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add the property Most leasehold owners in Stallingborough will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer 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 has commenced and you will need to be guided by your conveyancing solicitor from beginning to end of the process.
Leasehold residencies in Stallingborough with in excess of 100 years remaining 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 situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Elijah owned a 2 bedroom flat in Stallingborough on the market with a lease of a few days over sixty years left. Elijah informally contacted his freeholder being a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was prepared to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £100 per annum. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Elijah to exercise his statutory right. Elijah procured expert legal guidance and secured an acceptable deal without resorting to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
Dr M Edwards was assigned a lease of a recently refurbished apartment in Stallingborough in August 2008. The question was if we could estimate the premium would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative flats in Stallingborough with an extended lease were valued around £255,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 invoiced annually. The lease lapsed on 3 July 2096. Having 70 years remaining we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £10,500 and £12,000 not including legals.
In 2012 we were contacted by Dr W Cox who, having was assigned a lease of a ground floor apartment in Stallingborough in May 2004. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Identical premises in Stallingborough with an extended lease were in the region of £246,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 billed monthly. The lease concluded in 2076. Taking into account 50 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £44,700 and £51,600 exclusive of legals.
