Borrowash leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. Where your lease has in the region of ninety years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease dips below this level then you begin paying an additional element called marriage value. Leasehold owners in Borrowash will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to confirm your eligibility. In certain cases you may not be entitled. There are prescribed deadlines and formalities to follow once the process is triggered so it’s wise to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
Leasehold properties in Borrowash with over 100 years remaining on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.
