Unfortunately that a Aberporth residential lease is a wasting asset. The lease value drops in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is not fully appreciated in the first few years due to the deflation being disguised by increases in the Aberporth property market.Where your lease has approximately ninety years left, you should start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease falls below eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be due. The majority of leasehold owners in Aberporth will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancing solicitor should be able to confirm if you are eligibility. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timeframes and procedures to follow once the process is instigated and you will need to be guided by your lawyer for the duration of the formalities.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Last October John, came dangerously near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his ground floor apartment in Aberporth.

If he not met the deadline, the amount would have become more exhorbitant by at least £875.
Last Spring we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. A Sánchez , who was assigned a lease of a garden flat in Aberporth in May 2003. The dilemma was if we could approximate the premium would likely be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparable homes in Aberporth with a long lease were worth £252,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 collected quarterly. The lease concluded in 2091. Having 65 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £18,100 and £20,800 exclusive of fees.
