The nearer a residential lease in Thornaby nears to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. Where the lease has, more than one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a stage when a lease has under than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary reason why you should consider extending without delay.

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Toby owned a high value flat in Thornaby being sold with a lease of a little over 61 years remaining. Toby informally approached his freeholder being a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent initially set at £150 per annum and increase every twenty five years thereafter. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Toby to invoke his statutory right. Toby obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make an informed judgement and deal with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
