Why you should commence your Deepcar lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Deepcar lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Deepcar property value

The re-sale value of a leasehold property in Deepcar is impacted by how long the lease has left to run. If it is close to or fewer than eighty years you should anticipate problems on re-sale, so it is advisable to arrange for a lease extension before purchasing. It is preferable to commence the lease extension process when a lease still has 82 years unexpired so that a lease extension can be addressed prior to the 80 year cut off point. Leasehold Reform legislation enables Deepcar qualifying lessees to obtain a lease extension of 90 years in addition to the remaining lease term at a peppercorn rent (that is, rent free). The reason of the valuation is to determine the sum payable by the lessee to the freeholder for the purchase of the lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold premises in Deepcar with over one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

Lending institutions will not loan monies on a short lease

Banks and building societies do not like short residential leases. You are likely to experience problems where you wish to sell your flat in Deepcar if the unexpired lease term is below the criteria set by most lenders. Different mortgage companies have varying requirements but on the whole theyrequire an unexpired term of at least 65 years.

Deepcar Lease Extension Example Cases:

Matthew, Deepcar, South Yorkshire

16 months ago Matthew, came precariously near to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his first floor apartment in Deepcar. Having bought his property 19 years previously, the unexpired term was of little interest. Fortunately, he realised he would soon be paying way over the odds for Extending the lease. Matthew arranged for a lease extension just under the wire last July. Matthew and the freeholder via the managing agents eventually agreed on sum of £5,000 . If the lease had slid lower than 80 years, the sum would have become more costly by at least £1,000.

Deepcar case:

Mr and Mrs. V Evans took over the lease of a garden flat in Deepcar in November 1999. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative properties in Deepcar with a long lease were worth £166,400. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected monthly. The lease concluded in 2080. Taking into account 54 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £32,300 and £37,400 plus fees.

Deepcar case:

Mrs Hannah Davies moved into a basement apartment in Deepcar in March 1999. The question was if we could approximate the price would be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Similar homes in Deepcar with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £227,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed yearly. The lease elapsed in 2091. Considering the 65 years unexpired we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £13,300 and £15,400 plus fees.
