Unfortunately that a Burnham On Crouch residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value drops in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the depreciation being disguised by increases in the Burnham On Crouch property prices.Once your lease gets to 85ish years, you need to start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease slips under eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. The majority of leasehold owners in Burnham On Crouch will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer should be able to clarify whether you are eligibility. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict timeframes and procedures to follow once the process has commenced and you will need to be guided by your conveyancer from beginning to end of the formalities.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with over 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
