Top reasons for Gilberdyke lease extension

Why you should commence your Gilberdyke lease extension today:

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

Gilberdyke residential property held on a long lease is a depreciating asset because a leaseholder only owns the property for a period of years.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Gilberdyke with in excess of 100 years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Mortgage lenders will not finance a property on a short lease

Banks and building societies are tightening their criteria and a meaningful number now expect flats to have at least sixty if not seventy years remaining once the mortgage has expired. Given that plenty of flats in Gilberdyke were created in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s as a result many now require lease extensions if they if they are to be mortgageable.
