As the the remaining lease term of a Beccles domestic lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the residual term has, beyond 99 years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact however there will become a stage when a lease has fewer than 80 years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary reason why you should extend the lease without delay. Many flat owners in Beccles will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a lawyer will be able to confirm whether 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 conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.
