When it comes to domestic leasehold property in Borth, you are in fact renting it for a certain period of time. Modern flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you should consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately more expensive notably when there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Borth with a lease drawing near to 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it sooner as opposed to later. Once the lease term has under 80 years outstanding, under the current legislation the landlord can calculate and demand a larger amount, based on a technical calculation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Tommy owned a high value apartment in Borth being sold with a lease of a little over 61 years left. Tommy informally spoke with his freeholder being a well known Bristol-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to an increased rent to £200 yearly. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Tommy to exercise his statutory right. Tommy obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make an informed judgement and deal with the matter and readily saleable.
Dr John Bertrand took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Borth in May 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative homes in Borth with an extended lease were valued around £166,400. The average amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced quarterly. The lease terminated in 2080. Having 54 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £32,300 and £37,400 exclusive of legals.
In 2010 we were approached by Mr Jacob Williams who, having was assigned a lease of a recently refurbished apartment in Borth in September 1995. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by ninety years. Identical premises in Borth with a long lease were valued about £232,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed per annum. The lease ran out on 16 July 2091. Taking into account 65 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 not including costs.
