Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Conisborough property value

The value of Conisborough leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of extending the lease can escalate significantly once the remaining term is less than eighty years

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over 100 years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Banks and Building Societies may not issue a mortgage with a short lease

The definition of a short lease varies by mortgage company, yet mortgage lenders start to become nervous at around 75 years. This may be problematic when you come to market or refinance your property as it will be practically unmortgageable. You might have no immediate plan to sell but when you do your purchaser will have to hold off for 2 years before they can initiate the legal procedures for an extension to the lease.
