The closer a residential lease in Anlaby nears to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. Where the residual term has, over one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than 80 years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main reason why you should consider extending sooner than later. Many flat owners in Anlaby will qualify for this right; nevertheless a conveyancer should be able to confirm if you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold properties in Anlaby with over 100 years remaining on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.
