Lease Extension Valuation Services in Ashford, Kent

Lease Extension Valuations in Ashford, Kent

Expert Surveyor Advice | RICS Registered | Fixed Fees

Ashford has seen significant growth in leasehold properties, particularly in areas like Finberry, Repton Park, and around the International Station. If your flat’s lease is approaching 85 years or worse, nearing 80 it’s time to act. Once a lease drops below 80 years, marriage value becomes payable, and the cost of extending can rise steeply.

At Olden Property, we specialise in delivering independent lease extension valuation reports that help both leaseholders and freeholders navigate the process with clarity and confidence.

“If you own a flat in Ashford and your lease is nearing 80 years or fewer, it’s wise to take action sooner rather than later. Once the lease term falls below this threshold, the cost of extending it rises considerably due to the introduction of marriage value — a legal mechanism that increases the premium payable to the freeholder. Extending your lease before reaching 80 years can help you avoid this additional cost and preserve both your flat’s market value and its appeal to lenders.

For freeholders in Ashford who are served with a Section 42 Notice, obtaining a formal valuation is vital to ensure that the premium reflects fair compensation — including the loss of future ground rent and the impact on reversionary value.

At Olden Property, we provide independent, RICS-compliant lease extension valuations for both leaseholders and freeholders throughout Ashford and the wider TN23, TN24, and TN25 postcode areas. Whether you’re preparing to serve notice or responding to one, we offer clear, expert advice aligned with the requirements of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993.”
