Mevagissey leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. The shorter the remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and as a result any extension of the lease becomes more expensive. Most owners of residential leasehold property in Mevagissey enjoy rights under legislation to extend the terms of their leases. If you are a leasehold owner in Mevagissey you would be well advised to see if your lease has between 70 and 90 years remaining. In particular once the remaining lease term slips under eighty years, the premium due on any lease extension sharply increases as an element of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years remaining, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
