Why you should commence your Kidwelly lease extension

Main reasons to start your Kidwelly lease extension today:

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

The value of Kidwelly leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of a lease extension can increase substantially once the remaining term is less than 80 years

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

Leasehold premises in Kidwelly with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘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 freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Lenders may decide not to loan monies on a short lease

Mortgage lenders have specific criteria when lending monies secured on leasehold homes. Many will simply refrain from lending at all once an unexpired lease term drops below a certain unexpired lease term. Many Lending institutions will not consider property with a remaining below 75 years as adequate security. In addition to impacting your ability to sell, it is also relevant if you are intending to remortgage your Kidwelly home.
