The closer a domestic lease in Trimdon gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the residual term has, more than 100 years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact however there will become a stage when a lease has less than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary reason why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Trimdon will qualify for this right; that being said a conveyancing solicitor should be able to confirm if you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold residencies in Trimdon with in excess of 100 years remaining on the lease are often referred to as ‘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 to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.
