The nearer a domestic lease in Yelverton gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. If the residual term has, over 99 years to run then this decrease may be fractional nevertheless there will become a stage when a lease has less than 80 years remaining 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 sooner as opposed to later. Many flat owners in Yelverton will qualify for this right; that being said a conveyancer can confirm whether you qualify for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Last Christmas Riley, started to get close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his studio apartment in Yelverton. Having bought his flat twenty years ago, the unexpired term was of little bearing. As luck would have it, he recognised he would soon be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Riley extended the lease just under the wire last July. Riley and the landlord who owned the flat above in the end settled on a premium of £5,000 . If the lease had gone below 80 years, the amount would have increased by a minimum £875.
Last month we were phoned by Dr S Hernández , who acquired a ground floor apartment in Yelverton in March 1999. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative residencies in Yelverton with a long lease were in the region of £285,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced per annum. The lease expired in 2097. Considering the 71 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of costs.
Mr K Dupont completed a basement apartment in Yelverton in November 2011. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price could be to extend the lease by an additional years. Identical properties in Yelverton with an extended lease were in the region of £225,800. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed annually. The lease lapsed in 2086. Given that there were 60 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £23,800 and £27,400 exclusive of legals.
