Bubwith leases on residential deteriorating in value. if your lease has approximately 90 years remaining, you should start thinking about a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is desirable for a lease extension to be in place before the term of the current lease drops below eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be payable. Flat owners in Bubwith will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to check if you qualify. In some cases you may not qualify. There are prescribed timetables and steps to follow once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
