There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in Tisbury is a wasting asset as a result of the diminishing lease term. Where the residual term has, more than 99 years to run then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a point in time when a lease has less than 80 years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the primary reason why you should consider extending sooner as opposed to later. Many flat owners in Tisbury will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a conveyancing solicitor can advise if you are eligible to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
Leasehold residencies in Tisbury with more than 100 years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’.

In 2014 Blake, came dangerously near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his two bedroom flat in Tisbury. In buying his flat 18 years ago, the unexpired term was of minimal significance. Luckily, it dawned on him that he would imminently be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Blake was able to extend his lease at the eleventh hour in January. Blake and the freeholder eventually settled on an amount of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the premium would have increased by a minimum £900.
Last month we were contacted by Dr Rachel Wilson , who purchased a one bedroom apartment in Tisbury in August 2010. We are asked if we could approximate the premium would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative premises in Tisbury with an extended lease were valued about £256,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 billed quarterly. The lease elapsed in 2078. Having 52 years remaining we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £39,000 and £45,000 exclusive of costs.
In 2014 we were phoned by Mrs E González who, having moved into a studio apartment in Tisbury in October 1997. The question was if we could approximate the price could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable homes in Tisbury with a long lease were worth £218,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 invoiced monthly. The lease lapsed on 17 February 2089. Having 63 years remaining we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £17,100 and £19,800 plus expenses.
