Main reasons to commence your Creekmouth lease extension


Why you should start your Creekmouth lease extension today:

A Creekmouth lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

When it comes to domestic leasehold premises in Creekmouth, you are actually buying an entitlement to reside in a property for a set period of time. In recent years flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you may think about a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly notably once there are less than 80 years left. Anyone in Creekmouth with a lease approaching 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it sooner than later. When a lease has below eighty years outstanding, under the relevant legislation the freeholder can calculate and levy a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, known as “marriage value” which is due.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Creekmouth with over one hundred years unexpired on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

John, Creekmouth, London,

John owned a high value apartment in Creekmouth on the market with a lease of a little over 59 years outstanding. John informally approached his freeholder a well known London-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £200 annually. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were John to invoke his statutory right. John obtained expert advice and was able to make an informed judgement and handle with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.

Creekmouth case:

Dr Olivia Roux completed a recently refurbished apartment in Creekmouth in September 2000. The question was if we could estimate the premium would be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Similar residencies in Creekmouth with an extended lease were worth £246,800. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected monthly. The lease lapsed in 2076. Taking into account 50 years remaining we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £44,700 and £51,600 exclusive of costs.
