Increase your lease and increase your Norbiton property value

Owning a flat usually means owning a lease of the property, this is a ‘time-limited’ interest becoming shorter every day. your lease will ordinarily be granted for a fixed period of time , usually 99 or 125 years, although we have witnessed longer and shorter terms in Norbiton. Inevitably, the length of lease left shortens as time goes by. This may pass by relatively unnoticed when the residence has to be sold or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more it will cost to procure a lease extension. Eligible long lease owners in Norbiton have the right to extend the lease for a further 90 years in accordance with Leasehold Reform legislation. Do give due attention before delaying your Norbiton lease extension. Putting off that expense now only increases the price you will eventually have to pay to extend your lease

Norbiton case:

Last Autumn we were approach by Mr and Mrs. V Simon , who took over the lease of a purpose-built apartment in Norbiton in September 2005. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable properties in Norbiton with an extended lease were in the region of £198,800. The average ground rent payable was £55 collected every twelve months. The lease lapsed on 13 August 2081. Given that there were 55 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £33,300 and £38,400 plus fees.
