As the the remaining lease term of a Appleton residential lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the residual term has, over one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has under than eighty years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Appleton will meet the qualifying criteria; nevertheless a conveyancing solicitor will be able to confirm if you qualify to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
