Top reasons for Battlesbridge lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Battlesbridge lease extension today:

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

When it comes to domestic leasehold premises in Battlesbridge, you are actually purchasing a right to reside in a property for a prescribed time frame. In recent years flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you should think about extending the lease sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly notably once there are less than 80 years remaining. Anyone in Battlesbridge with a lease approaching 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it without delay. Once the lease term has under eighty years remaining, under the relevant statute the landlord can calculate and levy a greater amount, based on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is payable.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Lending institutions will not issue a mortgage on a short lease

Mortgage companies are really restricting their approach as regards to properties in Battlesbridge with short leases. For example you may find that their lending criteria are stricter and that they alter interest rates depending on how many years are left on the lease. Some may even refrain from lending completely, so if you needed to sell, your remaining options would be to find a cash purchaser, or hope for the best at auction thus limiting the number of potential purchasers.
