Why you should commence your Bonvilston lease extension

Why you should commence your Bonvilston lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Bonvilston property value

With a residential leasehold property in Bonvilston, you are actually buying a right to reside in a property for a set period of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a long period of time, you may think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease gets disproportionately greater particularly once there are fewer than 80 years left. Anyone in Bonvilston with a lease approaching 81 years left should seriously consider extending it sooner as opposed to later. When the lease term has below eighty years remaining, under the current legislation the freeholder is entitled to calculate and levy a greater premium, assessed on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining 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 decades to come.

Mortgage lenders may not grant a mortgage on a short lease

Banks and building societies vary in their lending requirements. Some draw the line at seventy five years outstanding on the lease; others may be willing to lend with anything with more than 70 years. Below sixty years, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage in the first place.
