As the the remaining lease term of a Burnopfield domestic lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the residual term has, in excess of 100 years to run then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary logic behind why you should consider extending without delay. Most flat owners in Burnopfield will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a conveyancer can confirm if you are eligible to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold residencies in Burnopfield with in excess of 100 years outstanding on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
