The closer a domestic lease in Tring gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the residual term has, over one hundred years to run then this decrease may be negligible however there will become a point in time when a lease has under than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending without delay.

In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
