Increase your lease and increase your Conisbrough property value

The market value of Conisbrough leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of a lease extension can increase substantially once the remaining term is below than 80 years

Conisbrough property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a property with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Mortgage lenders may decide not to issue a mortgage with a short lease

Whether or not the lease is be regarded as a short lease depends on the specific mortgage company, yet lending institutions start to become jittery at around 75 years. This will be problematic once you need to market or remortgage your flat as it will be practically unmortgageable.

Conisbrough Lease Extension Case Studies:

Noah, Conisbrough, South Yorkshire

Two years ago Noah, came seriously close to the 80-year mark with the lease on his leasehold apartment in Conisbrough. Having purchased his home two decades ago, the unexpired term was of minimal concern. Fortunately, it dawned on him that he would soon be paying way over the odds for Extending the lease. Noah extended the lease at the eleventh hour last July. Noah and the freeholder via the managing agents eventually agreed on the final figure of £5,500 . If the lease had gone to less than eighty years, the premium would have gone up by at least £1,100.

Conisbrough case:

Last Winter we were called by Mr and Mrs. Y Williams , who acquired a purpose-built apartment in Conisbrough in August 1997. The question was if we could estimate the price would likely be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable flats in Conisbrough with an extended lease were valued about £264,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 collected monthly. The lease expired in 2079. Considering the 53 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £37,100 and £42,800 exclusive of expenses.

Conisbrough case:

Mr T Bennett bought a basement apartment in Conisbrough in September 2001. We are asked if we could approximate the premium could be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar premises in Conisbrough with a long lease were in the region of £225,400. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed annually. The lease lapsed on 12 March 2090. Given that there were 64 years left we estimated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £15,200 and £17,600 not including professional charges.
