Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a set term of years. your lease will usually be granted for a fixed period of time , usually 99 or 125 years, although we have witnessed longer and shorter terms in Frinton On Sea. Inevitably, the term of lease remaining shortens as time goes by. This is often overlooked and only raises itself as an issue when the residence needs to be disposed of or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more it will cost to extend the lease. Eligible long lease owners in Frinton On Sea have the right to extend the lease for a further ninety years under Leasehold Reform legislation. Please give due consideration before putting off your Frinton On Sea lease extension. Putting off the cost now likely increases the price you will ultimately have to pay for a lease extension
Leasehold premises in Frinton On Sea with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’.
