Unfortunately that a Canford Cliffs residential lease is a deteriorating asset. As the lease term diminishes so does the value of the property. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the depreciation being disguised by increases in the Canford Cliffs property market.Where your lease has approximately ninety years left, you need to start thinking about a lease extension. If the number of years remaining falls below eighty years, you will then be required to pay 50% of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. Marriage value is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add the property Most leasehold owners in Canford Cliffs will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer will be able to clarify whether you are eligibility. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timetables and procedures to be adhered to once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your lawyer for the duration of the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
