As the length of the unexpired term of a Ulceby residential lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, over one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a stage when a lease has fewer than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main reason why you should extend the lease sooner rather than later. Many flat owners in Ulceby will qualify for this right; nevertheless a conveyancer should be able to advise whether you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold premises in Ulceby with more than 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 premises. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Last October James, started to get near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his leasehold flat in Ulceby. In buying his flat two decades ago, the lease term was of little concern. Thankfully, it dawned on him that he would imminently be paying an inflated amount for a lease extension. James extended the lease at the eleventh hour in June. James and the landlord who owned the flat above eventually agreed on a premium of £5,500 . If the lease had dropped to less than 80 years, the sum would have become more exhorbitant by a minimum £925.
