The market value of a leasehold property in Mancot depends on how many years the lease has left to run. If it is close to or less than 80 years you should envisage problems on re-sale, so it is recommended to arrange for a lease extension before buying. It is preferable to start the lease extension process when a lease still has 82 years remaining so that formalities can be finalised ahead of the 80 year threshold. Current legislation entitles Mancot qualifying lessees to obtain a lease extension of 90 years on top of the remaining length of the lease at a peppercorn rent (that is, rent free). The reason of the valuation is to arrive at an opinion of the amount payable by the lessee to the freeholder for the acquisition of the lease extension.
It is generally considered that a property with over one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years remaining, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Last August we were phoned by Ms E Watson , who was assigned a lease of a studio flat in Mancot in June 1996.

Comparative homes in Mancot with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £280,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced yearly. The lease elapsed on 10 January 2096.
