With a residential leasehold property in Tilehurst, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. These days flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you should think about extending the lease sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater notably once there are less than eighty years left. Residents in Tilehurst with a lease drawing near to 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it without delay. When the lease term has below eighty years remaining, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and charge a larger premium, based on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is due.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

In 2014 Cameron, started to get close to the 80-year mark with the lease on his ground floor apartment in Tilehurst. In buying his flat two decades ago, the unexpired term was of little relevance. by good luck, he realised he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Cameron extended the lease just ahead of time in July. Cameron and the freeholder ultimately agreed on sum of £5,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the premium would have increased by at least £875.
In 2011 we were phoned by Dr K Walker who, having was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Tilehurst in May 1998. The dilemma was if we could approximate the premium would likely be to extend the lease by ninety years. Similar premises in Tilehurst with 100 year plus lease were valued about £166,400. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 collected yearly. The lease finished on 12 April 2080. Having 54 years outstanding we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £32,300 and £37,400 not including legals.
Dr Alexander Ramírez owned a newly refurbished apartment in Tilehurst in October 1999. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparable properties in Tilehurst with an extended lease were worth £227,800. The average ground rent payable was £45 collected yearly. The lease concluded in 2091. Given that there were 65 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 not including expenses.
