Tremeirchion leases on residential properties are gradually decreasing in value. The shorter the remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and accordingly any extension of the lease becomes more expensive. Legislation has been in place for sometime now which entitles qualifying Tremeirchion residential leaseholders to extend the terms of long leases. Where you are a leasehold owner in Tremeirchion you really ought to check if your lease has between seventy and ninety years remaining. There are compelling reasons why a Tremeirchion flat owner with a lease having around eighty years unexpired should take action to make sure that a lease extension is put in place without delay
Leasehold premises in Tremeirchion with in excess of one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.

Half a year ago Matthew, started to get near to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his two bedroom flat in Tremeirchion.

If he not met the deadline, the figure would have escalated by at least £1,050.
