Anlaby leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has in the region of 90 years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the remaining term of a lease drops below this level then you begin incurring an additional element called marriage value. Flat owners in Anlaby will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however It would be wise to check with a conveyancer to check your eligibility. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are prescribed timetables and procedures to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s wise to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
