Top reasons for Flamborough lease extension


Main reasons to start your Flamborough lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Flamborough property value

The only way is down when it comes to Flamborough lease terms. Flamborough flats that have a lease term lower than eighty years will de-escalate in market price at a rapid rate, and the cost to extend your lease will rise.

Flamborough property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold premises in Flamborough with more than one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.

Lenders will not loan monies with a short lease

The trend since the credit crunch has been for banks to tighten lending criteria generally - this has extended to the property over which the home loan is to be granted. This has meant the unexpired lease term required by banks has increased. In the past banks were content with twenty years plus the term of the loan - routinely 50 year leases but those requirements are being increasingly undermined by the requirement for longer and longer leases - many use a minimum term of 75 years as standard.

Flamborough Lease Extension Case Studies:

Finn, Flamborough, East Yorkshire

Twenty four months ago Finn, came perilously near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his purpose- built apartment in Flamborough. In buying his home two decades ago, the unexpired term was of no bearing. by good luck, he became aware that he would soon be paying an inflated amount for a lease extension. Finn extended the lease at the eleventh hour in March. Finn and the landlord ultimately settled on sum of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the premium would have escalated by a minimum £1,100.

Flamborough case:

In 2010 we were contacted by Dr Blake Jackson who, having completed a studio apartment in Flamborough in May 2011. The dilemma was if we could approximate the premium would likely be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparative homes in Flamborough with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £200,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease lapsed on 19 August 2101. Having 77 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 exclusive of legals.

Flamborough case:

Dr B Ali completed a one bedroom flat in Flamborough in April 2004. The question was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparative premises in Flamborough with a long lease were in the region of £265,200. The average ground rent payable was £65 collected quarterly. The lease ended on 6 February 2090. Given that there were 66 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £15,200 and £17,600 exclusive of costs.
