As the length of the unexpired term of a Porthleven domestic lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the residual term has, more than one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a stage when a lease has fewer than eighty years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main rational as to why you should extend the lease sooner than later. Most flat owners in Porthleven will qualify for this right; however a conveyancing solicitor should be able to advise if you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold premises in Porthleven with over one hundred years remaining on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges warrant it.

Nathaniel was the the leasehold proprietor of a conversion apartment in Porthleven being marketed with a lease of just over sixty years left. Nathaniel informally contacted his landlord being a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £100 yearly. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Nathaniel to exercise his statutory right. Nathaniel procured expert advice and was able to make a more informed decision and handle with the matter and sell the property.
Mr and Mrs. K Martínez was assigned a lease of a purpose-built flat in Porthleven in July 1998. We are asked if we could approximate the price could be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparative residencies in Porthleven with a long lease were worth £168,800. The average ground rent payable was £60 invoiced quarterly. The lease finished in 2081. Given that there were 55 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £31,400 and £36,200 not including expenses.
Last Christmas we were phoned by Dr Mason Alexander , who took over the lease of a basement flat in Porthleven in June 2011. The question was if we could approximate the premium could be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparable premises in Porthleven with an extended lease were valued around £235,200. The average amount of ground rent was £45 collected per annum. The lease elapsed in 2092. Having 66 years remaining we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including fees.
