Top reasons for Chaddesden lease extension

Why you should start your Chaddesden lease extension today:

A Chaddesden leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The only way is down when it comes to Chaddesden lease terms. Chaddesden flats that have a residual term less than than eighty years will de-escalate in market price at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will rise.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Chaddesden Lease Extension Case Studies:

Teddy, Chaddesden, Derbyshire

Last Christmas Teddy, came dangerously near to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his garden apartment in Chaddesden. In buying his property two decades ago, the length of the lease was of little concern. Luckily, he recognised he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Teddy extended the lease just in the nick of time last January. Teddy and the freeholder via the management company subsequently settled on the final figure of £5,000 . If the lease had dipped to less than eighty years, the amount would have become more costly by at least £1,000.

Chaddesden case:

Last Autumn we were contacted by Mr P Johnson , who owned a one bedroom apartment in Chaddesden in May 2000. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price could be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar residencies in Chaddesden with an extended lease were valued around £210,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced quarterly. The lease came to a finish on 15 August 2088. Given that there were 62 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £18,100 and £20,800 exclusive of expenses.

Chaddesden case:

In 2012 we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. B Lefebvre who, having moved into a first floor apartment in Chaddesden in March 1995. The question was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable premises in Chaddesden with a long lease were in the region of £265,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 collected every twelve months. The lease expired in 2099. Taking into account 73 years as a residual term we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £9,500 and £11,000 not including legals.
