As the length of the unexpired term of a Lampeter residential lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the residual term has, over 99 years to run then this decrease may be fractional nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main rational as to why you should extend the lease without delay. Many flat owners in Lampeter will qualify for this right; nevertheless a lawyer can advise if you qualify for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
Leasehold premises in Lampeter with over 100 years unexpired on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Connor owned a 2 bedroom apartment in Lampeter on the market with a lease of a little over sixty years remaining. Connor informally approached his freeholder being a well known Bristol-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £200 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Connor to exercise his statutory right. Connor obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make a more informed judgement and handle with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
Last month we were e-mailed by Mrs V Johnson , who bought a first floor apartment in Lampeter in April 2012. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparable residencies in Lampeter with an extended lease were valued around £174,200. The average ground rent payable was £55 invoiced monthly. The lease came to a finish on 5 January 2077. Having 51 years left we estimated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £31,400 and £36,200 not including legals.
Last Summer we were contacted by Dr A Anderson , who bought a studio flat in Lampeter in October 2009.

The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed quarterly. The lease end date was in 2097. Considering the 71 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of costs.
