As the length of the unexpired term of a Tibshelf residential lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the lease has, in excess of one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a stage when a lease has less than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main reason why you should consider extending sooner as opposed to later. The majority of flat owners in Tibshelf will qualify for this right; nevertheless a conveyancer can confirm if you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.

18 months ago Owen, started to get close to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his ground floor apartment in Tibshelf. In buying his home 18 years previously, the unexpired term was of little relevance. Luckily, he noticed he would soon be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Owen extended the lease just ahead of time in March. Owen and the freeholder via the managing agents subsequently agreed on sum of £5,500 . If the lease had dipped to less than eighty years, the sum would have become more costly by at least £850.
