With a domestic leasehold property in Stoke Sub Hamdon, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. In recent years flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you may think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater especially when there are fewer than 80 years left. Leasehold owners in Stoke Sub Hamdon with a lease approaching 81 years unexpired should seriously consider extending it without delay. Once the lease term has below 80 years left, under the relevant legislation the landlord is entitled to calculate and charge a larger amount, based on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
