Why you should start your Dalton in Furness lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

A Dalton in Furness leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The value of Dalton in Furness leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of extending the lease can increase significantly once the remaining term is less than eighty years

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with over 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
