On the balance of probabilities if you own a flat in Goole you actually own a long leasehold interest over your property
Leasehold residencies in Goole with more than one hundred years outstanding on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Last October Lucas, came dangerously close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his leasehold flat in Goole. Having bought his flat 18 years previously, the lease term was of minimal concern. Luckily, he realised he would soon be paying an inflated amount for Extending the lease. Lucas arranged for a lease extension at the eleventh hour in January. Lucas and the freeholder via the managing agents subsequently agreed on an amount of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the amount would have escalated by a minimum £875.
Dr Michael González bought a ground floor apartment in Goole in October 2005. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative residencies in Goole with a long lease were in the region of £256,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed annually. The lease lapsed on 11 November 2078. Given that there were 52 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £39,000 and £45,000 not including fees.
Last Summer we were phoned by Mr O Girard , who acquired a garden flat in Goole in October 1998. We are asked if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Identical premises in Goole with 100 year plus lease were valued about £218,000. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed yearly. The lease concluded on 21 February 2089. Taking into account 63 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus costs.
