Top reasons for Armthorpe lease extension

Main reasons to start your Armthorpe lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Armthorpe property value

The nearer a residential lease in Armthorpe gets to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. Where the residual term has, over one hundred years to run then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a stage when a lease has less than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the primary logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. Many flat owners in Armthorpe will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer can confirm whether you qualify to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.

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

It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Lending institutions will not finance a property with a short lease

Mortgage lenders have specific criteria when lending monies secured on leasehold homes. Many will simply not lend at all once the remaining lease term slips beneath a specified unexpired lease term. Many Lending institutions will not regard property with a remaining below 75 years as adequate security. In addition to impacting your ability to sell, it is also relevant if you are seeking to remortgage your Armthorpe home.
