There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in Bushey is a wasting asset as a result of the diminishing lease term. If the residual term has, in excess of 99 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 increase sharply the cost. It is the primary reason why you should consider extending sooner as opposed to later. Many flat owners in Bushey will qualify for this right; however a lawyer can confirm if you qualify for a lease extension. 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.

Bushey property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Bushey with in excess of 100 years remaining on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.
