Top reasons for Aberdaron lease extension

Main reasons to start your Aberdaron lease extension today:

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

For those whose Aberdaron property is held on a long lease, our message is clear – if you do nothing, your property will ultimately revert to your landlord, leaving you empty-handed. The shorter the lease the lower the value of the property and the more expensive it will be to extend the lease.

Aberdaron property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Mortgage lenders may not lend with a short lease

Most mortgage lenders have narrowed their lending criteria in recent years and borrowers are finding it increasingly difficult to raise finance or re-mortgage against property with shorter lease terms, particularly below 75 years as they are considered to be unacceptable for lending purposes.
