Yelverton leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. Where your lease has in the region of 90 years remaining, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. Eighty years is a significant number: when the remaining term of a lease dips below this level then you start incurring an additional element called marriage value. Leasehold owners in Yelverton will usually qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor will confirm your eligibility. In some circumstances you may not qualify. There are prescribed timetables and formalities to follow once the process has commenced so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
Leasehold premises in Yelverton with more than one hundred years left on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges warrant it.

Last Spring Tommy, started to get close to the 80-year mark with the lease on his basement apartment in Yelverton. In buying his home two decades ago, the lease term was of minimal bearing. Thankfully, it dawned on him that he needed to take steps soon on Extending the lease. Tommy arranged for a lease extension at the eleventh hour in June. Tommy and the freeholder subsequently agreed on the final figure of £5,500 . If he not met the deadline, the premium would have become more costly by at least £850.
In 2013 we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. E Walker who, having was assigned a lease of a garden flat in Yelverton in June 2012. The question was if we could approximate the price could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative premises in Yelverton with 100 year plus lease were valued around £198,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 billed quarterly. The lease expired on 13 June 2081. Having 55 years left we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £33,300 and £38,400 exclusive of legals.
Last Summer we were e-mailed by Ms U Howard , who was assigned a lease of a one bedroom flat in Yelverton in May 2008. We are asked if we could approximate the price would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Similar homes in Yelverton with a long lease were valued around £300,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease elapsed in 2101. Taking into account 75 years outstanding we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
