A Talbot Green lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the reduction being disguised by increases in the Talbot Green property market.Once your lease gets to 85ish years, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If the number of years remaining dips below eighty years, you will then be required to pay 50% of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. The marriage fee is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add the property The majority of flat owners in Talbot Green will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer should be able to clarify if you are eligibility. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict timeframes and procedures to be adhered to once the process has commenced and you will need to be guided by your lawyer throughout the process.
