Caerwys leases on domestic deteriorating in value. if your lease has approximately 90 years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is financially advisable for the lease extension to be in place before the term of the current lease falls under eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Leasehold owners in Caerwys will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to check if you qualify. In certain cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and steps to comply with once the process has started so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Tyler was the the leasehold proprietor of a conversion apartment in Caerwys being marketed with a lease of a little over 72 years remaining. Tyler on an informal basis approached his freeholder being a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £50 annually. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Tyler to invoke his statutory right. Tyler procured expert advice and was able to make a more informed judgement and handle with the matter and sell the flat.
Last month we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. G Wilson , who took over the lease of a recently refurbished flat in Caerwys in October 2002. We are asked if we could estimate the price would likely be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative flats in Caerwys with 100 year plus lease were valued around £295,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced monthly. The lease finished on 20 March 2101. Given that there were 75 years left we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £8,600 and £9,800 not including professional charges.
