Why you should commence your Admaston lease extension


Why you should start your Admaston lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Admaston property value

The only way is down when it comes to Admaston lease terms. Admaston flats that have a lease term less than than 80 years will reduce in market price even faster, and the cost of extending your lease will increase.

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

Leasehold premises in Admaston with over one hundred years unexpired on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.

Lenders will not issue a mortgage with a short lease

Mortgage lenders have specific criteria when lending monies charged on leasehold property. Some will simply refuse lend at all once the residual lease term falls below a certain unexpired lease term. Many Mortgage lenders will not regard property with a remaining term of less than seventy years suitable security. In addition to this being important when selling, it is also relevant if you are wanting to refinance your Admaston home.

Admaston Lease Extension Example Cases:

Amber, Admaston, Shropshire,

Trailing unsuccessful negotiations with the landlord of her basement apartment in Admaston, Amber initiated the lease extension process just as the lease was coming close to the all-important 80-year threshold. The transaction completed in January 2005. The landlord’s fees were kept to an absolute minimum.

Admaston case:

Last year we were e-mailed by Mr Michael Sánchez , who moved into a one bedroom apartment in Admaston in August 2001. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical residencies in Admaston with an extended lease were valued around £227,800. The average amount of ground rent was £45 collected every twelve months. The lease termination date was on 8 October 2091. Taking into account 65 years outstanding we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £13,300 and £15,400 exclusive of fees.

Admaston case:

In 2014 we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. T Kelly who, having took over the lease of a one bedroom apartment in Admaston in November 1998. The question was if we could approximate the price would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical premises in Admaston with a long lease were worth £275,000. The average amount of ground rent was £55 invoiced per annum. The lease elapsed in 2102. Having 76 years remaining we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including costs.
