When it comes to domestic leasehold property in Rednal, you are actually buying an entitlement to reside in a property for a set period of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you should think about a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately more expensive particularly once there are fewer than 80 years remaining. Leasehold owners in Rednal with a lease approaching 81 years unexpired should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. Once a lease has fewer than eighty years left, under the current statute the freeholder can calculate and levy a larger premium, based on a technical calculation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with more than 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 30 years remaining, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

In 2014 Alexander, started to get close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his purpose- built flat in Rednal. In buying his flat 18 years previously, the length of the lease was of minimal concern. As luck would have it, it dawned on him that he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Alexander extended the lease at the eleventh hour last May. Alexander and the landlord eventually agreed on the final figure of £5,500 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the price would have become more exhorbitant by a minimum £850.
