Increase your lease and increase your Angmering property value

Angmering residential property owned on a long lease is a wasting asset as the leaseholder only owns the property for a period of years.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Lenders may decide not to lend on a short lease

Regardless of whether you need a mortgage, you should bear in mind that it is probable that someone intending to purchase your property in the future might well do, so if they can't get a mortgage, then the market price of your property could be adversely impacted.

Ollie, Angmering, West Sussex,

Ollie owned a 2 bedroom apartment in Angmering being marketed with a lease of a little over fifty eight years outstanding. Ollie on an informal basis approached his landlord a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was prepared to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of an increased rent to £50 per annum.
