Woore leases on residential deteriorating in value. if your lease has about 90 years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. If lease term falls under 80 years, you will then be required to pay 50% of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the standard cost of the lease extension to your landlord. Marriage value is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add to the property. Leasehold owners in Woore will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to check if you qualify. In some situations you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and steps to comply with once the process has commenced so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
Leasehold premises in Woore with in excess of one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such circumstances there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges warrant it.

14 months ago Milo, started to get close to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his studio apartment in Woore. In buying his home 18 years ago, the lease term was of little bearing. by good luck, he noticed he would soon be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Milo arranged for a lease extension at the eleventh hour last May. Milo and the landlord eventually settled on a premium of £6,000 . If the lease had gone below eighty years, the premium would have become more exhorbitant by a minimum £900.
In 2011 we were approached by Mr and Mrs. C Bell who, having bought a studio flat in Woore in January 2009. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium could be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Identical homes in Woore with a long lease were worth £261,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 collected per annum. The lease ran out in 2078. Given that there were 52 years remaining we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £39,000 and £45,000 not including costs.
Dr U Fournier owned a one bedroom apartment in Woore in May 2009. The question was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be to extend the lease by 90 years. Comparative properties in Woore with a long lease were valued around £218,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced quarterly. The lease concluded on 2 April 2089. Given that there were 63 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus fees.
