Unfortunately that a Trearddur Bay residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value drops in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is not fully appreciated in the first few years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Trearddur Bay property prices.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you need to start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease slips below eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be due. The majority of flat owners in Trearddur Bay will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer should be able to confirm if you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and procedures to be adhered to once the process is instigated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancing solicitor for the duration of the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Ollie was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio apartment in Trearddur Bay on the market with a lease of a little over fifty eight years unexpired. Ollie informally approached his freeholder a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £50 yearly. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Ollie to exercise his statutory right. Ollie obtained expert advice and was able to make an informed decision and handle with the matter and sell the flat.
