As the length of the unexpired term of a Brynford domestic lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the residual term has, beyond 100 years remaining then this decrease may be negligible that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has under than eighty years left 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. Most flat owners in Brynford will meet the qualifying criteria; however a conveyancing solicitor should be able to advise if you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
Leasehold properties in Brynford with more than 100 years outstanding 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.
