The value of Todwick leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of a lease extension can increase significantly once the remaining term is less than 80 years
Leasehold residencies in Todwick with in excess of 100 years outstanding 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 premises. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Kyle owned a studio flat in Todwick on the market with a lease of fraction over fifty eight years left. Kyle informally spoke with his landlord being a well known local-based freehold company for a lease extension. The freeholder indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £100 per annum. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Kyle to exercise his statutory right. Kyle procured expert advice and secured an acceptable resolution informally and readily saleable.
Last year we were called by Mrs O Clarke , who moved into a first floor flat in Todwick in October 1995. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparative flats in Todwick with an extended lease were in the region of £264,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 billed monthly. The lease lapsed on 3 October 2079. Given that there were 53 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £37,100 and £42,800 plus expenses.
Last year we were e-mailed by Mrs R Lewis , who moved into a newly refurbished apartment in Todwick in November 2011. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord could be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparable residencies in Todwick with a long lease were worth £225,400. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed quarterly. The lease came to a finish in 2090. Taking into account 64 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £15,200 and £17,600 plus expenses.
