Why you should start your Beckermet lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Beckermet lease extension today:

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

The basic rule is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Beckermet can extend the lease for an additional ninety years under the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. Do think carefully before delaying your Beckermet lease extension. Postponing that expense today simply increases the premium you will eventually be required to pay for a lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold premises in Beckermet with in excess of 100 years remaining on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges warrant it.

Banks and Building Societies will not lend with a short lease

The definition of a short lease varies by mortgage company, yet mortgage lenders start to get jittery at around 75 years. This may cause difficulties when you come to sell or refinance your property as it will be effectively unmortgageable. Even though you might have no immediate intention to sell but when you do your purchaser will need to hold off for 2 years before being able to start the legal procedures for a lease extension.

Beckermet Lease Extension Example Cases:

Joshua, Beckermet, Cumbria,

Joshua owned a high value flat in Beckermet being marketed with a lease of fraction over fifty eight years remaining. Joshua on an informal basis contacted his freeholder a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was keen to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £150 per annum and doubled every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Joshua to invoke his statutory right. Joshua procured expert legal guidance and secured satisfactory deal without going to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.

Beckermet case:

Last Christmas we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. M Parker , who completed a one bedroom flat in Beckermet in November 2012. The question was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparable residencies in Beckermet with a long lease were valued around £225,800. The average amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced every twelve months. The lease concluded on 28 June 2086. Taking into account 60 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £25,700 and £29,600 exclusive of expenses.

Beckermet case:

Mr and Mrs. D Bennett owned a ground floor flat in Beckermet in July 2009. We are asked if we could estimate the premium would be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Identical homes in Beckermet with a long lease were valued about £210,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 invoiced yearly. The lease finished in 2106. Having 80 years left we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
