Beddington leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has about 90 years remaining, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is desirable for the lease extension to be in place before the term of the existing lease dips lower than 80 years - otherwise a higher premium will be payable. Leasehold owners in Beddington will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor should be able check if you qualify. In some situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and steps to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
It is generally considered 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 residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.
