The market value of a leasehold property in Long Eaton is impacted by how many years the lease has remaining. If it is near to or less than eighty years you should foresee problems on re-sale, so it is recommended to arrange for a lease extension before buying. It is ideal to start the process of extending the lease is when a lease still has 82 years remaining so that a lease extension can be finalised in advance of the 80 year cut off point. Leasehold Reform legislation enables Long Eaton qualifying lessees to obtain a lease extension of ninety years in addition to the remaining length of the lease at a peppercorn rent (that is, rent free). The intention of the valuation is to determine the premium payable by the lessee to the freeholder for the purchase of the lease extension.
Leasehold properties in Long Eaton with in excess of 100 years left 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 service charges merit it.
