An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Clacton On Sea with more than 100 years unexpired on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘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 freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Lenders may decide not to finance a property on a short lease

Lending institutions have set criteria when lending funds charged on leasehold property. Some will simply refrain from lending at all once an unexpired lease term slips lower than a specified unexpired lease term. Many Banks and Building Societies will not regard property with an unexpired below 75 years suitable security. As well as this being important when selling, it is also relevant where you are intending to refinance your Clacton On Sea home.
