Unfortunately that a Tintagel residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value reduces in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the depreciation being disguised by increases in the Tintagel property prices.Where your lease has approximately ninety years left, you should start considering a lease extension. If the number of years remaining slips under eighty years, you will end up paying 50% of the property's 'marriage value' on top of 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 Tintagel will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancing solicitor will be able to confirm whether you are eligibility. In some situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and procedures to follow once the process is instigated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancing solicitor throughout the process.
Leasehold residencies in Tintagel with in excess of one hundred years left on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Last year we were called by Mr and Mrs. I Gómez , who was assigned a lease of a ground floor flat in Tintagel in September 2000.

The average ground rent payable was £65 billed quarterly. The lease terminated in 2089. Taking into account 63 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £20,000 and £23,000 exclusive of costs.
