Top reasons for Abercarn lease extension

Why you should commence your Abercarn lease extension today:

A Abercarn leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

Unfortunately that a Abercarn residential lease is a wasting asset. The lease value reduces in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Abercarn property prices.Once your lease gets to 85ish years, you should start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease falls under 80 years - otherwise a higher premium will be due. Most leasehold owners in Abercarn will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancing solicitor will be able to clarify whether you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to be adhered to once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your lawyer throughout the formalities.

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

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Lending institutions will not grant a mortgage with a short lease

Lending institutions have specific criteria when loaning funds charged on leasehold property. Many will simply refrain from lending at all once the remaining lease term slips beneath a specified unexpired lease term. Many Mortgage lenders will not regard property with an unexpired below seventy years suitable security. As well as this being important when selling, it is also relevant if you are intending to remortgage your Abercarn property.

Abercarn Lease Extension Example Cases:

Lauren, Abercarn, Caerphilly,

Subsequent to lengthy correspondence with the freeholder of her basement apartment in Abercarn, Lauren started the lease extension process just as the lease was nearing the all-important 80-year deadline. The transaction completed in June 2006. The landlord’s costs were negotiated to about 650 pounds.

Abercarn case:

Last Autumn we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. P Green , who completed a ground floor apartment in Abercarn in April 1996. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable residencies in Abercarn with 100 year plus lease were worth £300,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 billed quarterly. The lease termination date was in 2102. Taking into account 76 years left we estimated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.

Abercarn case:

Last year we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. J King , who acquired a recently refurbished apartment in Abercarn in June 1995. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Identical premises in Abercarn with a long lease were worth £257,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 invoiced per annum. The lease ran out on 11 March 2091. Having 65 years left we calculated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £18,100 and £20,800 not including expenses.
