As the the remaining lease term of a Tutbury residential lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, in excess of 125 years to run then this decrease may be of little impact 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 termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main reason why you should consider extending without delay. The majority of flat owners in Tutbury will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer can confirm if you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
Leasehold residencies in Tutbury with in excess of one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home.

Mason was the the leasehold proprietor of a high value flat in Tutbury on the market with a lease of just over fifty eight years remaining. Mason on an informal basis approached his freeholder a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent at the outset set at £150 per annum and increase every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Mason to exercise his statutory right. Mason obtained expert advice and was able to make a more informed decision and handle with the matter and readily saleable.
Last May we were e-mailed by Dr Oliver García , who purchased a basement flat in Tutbury in June 2009. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord could be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparative flats in Tutbury with a long lease were valued about £183,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 billed every twelve months. The lease terminated in 2083. Considering the 57 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £28,500 and £33,000 not including costs.
Last Winter we were e-mailed by Dr James Jones , who completed a studio apartment in Tutbury in May 1995. We are asked if we could approximate the price would be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Identical homes in Tutbury with an extended lease were in the region of £245,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease ended on 22 May 2094. Having 68 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including costs.
