Unfortunately that a Tonypandy residential lease is a deteriorating asset. As the lease term diminishes so does the value of the property. The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Tonypandy property prices.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If the number of years remaining drops below 80 years, you will then be required to pay 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 additional value that a lease extension will add the property The majority of leasehold owners in Tonypandy will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer will be able to clarify if you qualify for an extension. In some situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and procedures to be adhered to once the process has commenced and you will need to be guided by your lawyer for the duration of the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
