Frequently Asked Questions
Our calculator uses the official RICS deferment rate methodology and should be within 10–20% of a professional valuation for most properties. Actual premiums depend on local comparable evidence that only a registered surveyor can access. Always instruct a specialist before serving a Section 42 notice.
Once a lease falls below 80 years, marriage value becomes payable — potentially doubling or tripling your total extension cost. Above 80 years, marriage value is not payable. This is the single most important financial milestone in leasehold enfranchisement.
The Act proposes to abolish marriage value and extend the standard extension to 990 years. Many provisions require secondary legislation before coming into force. Our calculator uses the current RICS methodology.
The statutory process typically takes 6–12 months for an uncontested case. If the matter goes to the First-tier Tribunal, add 12–18 months.
Ideally when your lease reaches 90 years — giving you time to complete comfortably before crossing the 80-year marriage value threshold. If you are already below 85 years, act immediately.
