The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the reduction being disguised by increases in the Yarm On Tees property market.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If the number of years remaining drops below 80 years, you will end up paying half of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord.
