Why you should commence your Aston on Trent lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Aston on Trent lease extension today:

A Aston on Trent leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The market value of a leasehold property in Aston on Trent depends on how long the lease has left to run. If it is near to or less than 80 years you should foresee problems on re-sale, so it is recommended to arrange for a lease extension before purchasing. It is preferable to start the lease extension process when the lease still has 82 years to run so that formalities can be finalised ahead of the eighty year cut off point. Statute enables Aston on Trent qualifying lessees to a ninety year extension added to their unexpired lease term (ie if your lease has fifty years remaining the statutory lease extension will provide a new term of 140 years). The purpose of the valuation is to arrive at an opinion of the sum payable by the lessee to the freeholder for the purchase of the lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Lending institutions may not grant a mortgage with a short lease

Nearly all mortgage companies require a lengthy amount of time remaining on a leasehold residence before they will contemplate it as adequate security. Even if you don't need a mortgage, you should bear in mind that it is reasonable to assume that someone intending to acquire your property in the future might well do, so if they are unable to obtain a mortgage, then the financial worth of the property will likely suffer. In the last decade many banks and building societies have increased the required minimum lease length that they are willing to lend on
