Perry Barr leases on domestic properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has in the region of 90 years remaining, you should start thinking about a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for your lease extension to take place before the term of the current lease falls below 80 years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Leasehold owners in Perry Barr will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor will check your eligibility. In some circumstances you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and formalities to comply with once the process is triggered so it’s sensible to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
Leasehold premises in Perry Barr with in excess of 100 years left on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.
