Top reasons for Baguley lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

A Baguley lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The rule of thumb is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Baguley may extend the lease for a further ninety years in accordance with the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. Please think carefully before delaying your Baguley lease extension. Postponing that expense now simply escalates the premium you will eventually have to pay for a lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years remaining, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Lending institutions may not grant a mortgage on a short lease

Banks and building societies do not like short residential leases. You most probably encounter problems if you need to sell your flat in Baguley if the remaining lease term is less than the criteria set by most banks and building societies. Different lenders have different criteria but on the whole they are looking for an unexpired term of at least seventy years.

Baguley case:

Last Spring we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. B Clarke , who bought a ground floor apartment in Baguley in October 2004. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar residencies in Baguley with an extended lease were valued around £285,000. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed per annum. The lease expired in 2098. Taking into account 72 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including costs.

Baguley case:

Ms Freya Simon acquired a recently refurbished flat in Baguley in April 1995. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar properties in Baguley with 100 year plus lease were valued around £233,200. The average ground rent payable was £60 invoiced yearly. The lease lapsed on 9 May 2087. Having 61 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £22,800 and £26,400 exclusive of expenses.
