Increase your lease and increase your Tickhill property value

The only way is down when it comes to Tickhill lease terms. Tickhill properties that have a remaining term less than than 80 years will reduce in value even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will go up.

Tickhill property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold premises in Tickhill with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Tickhill case:

Last Autumn we were called by Dr Sebastian Bennett , who completed a one bedroom flat in Tickhill in October 2007. We are asked if we could approximate the price could be to extend the lease by an additional years. Similar residencies in Tickhill with 100 year plus lease were valued around £275,000. The average amount of ground rent was £65 collected annually. The lease termination date was in 2094. Considering the 68 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including costs.

Tickhill case:

Last Christmas we were contacted by Mrs S Phillips , who bought a basement apartment in Tickhill in January 1997. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparable residencies in Tickhill with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £208,600. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected quarterly. The lease came to a finish on 15 May 2083. Given that there were 57 years remaining we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £30,400 and £35,200 plus legals.
