Lease extension in Reading

Property Law Online extends leases across Reading. If your lease is approaching 80 years unexpired, acting now is the single largest saving available to you as a leaseholder: below 80 years, marriage value makes the premium sharply and permanently more expensive.

Leasehold flats in Reading face the same arithmetic as everywhere else: once the unexpired term falls below 80 years, marriage value becomes payable and the premium rises sharply. Acting before that line is crossed is the cheapest decision a leaseholder can make.

If you have owned the flat for two years, you have a statutory right to a 90-year extension at a peppercorn ground rent. We check your qualification, manage the valuation, serve the notice and negotiate the premium.
