Why you should commence your Dymock lease extension

Main reasons to start your Dymock lease extension today:

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

Unfortunately that a Dymock residential lease is a deteriorating asset. As the lease term diminishes so does the value of the property. The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the deflation being disguised by increases in the Dymock property market.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you need to start thinking about a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease dips under eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. The majority of flat owners in Dymock will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer should be able to clarify if you are eligibility. In some situations you may not be entitled. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to be adhered to once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancing solicitor for the duration of the process.

Dymock property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Dymock with more than one hundred years unexpired on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

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

Nearly all mortgage lenders insist on a lengthy amount of time left on a leasehold residence before they will consider it as adequate security. Even if you don't require a mortgage, you should be conscious that it is reasonable to assume that someone intending to buy your property in the future might well do, so in the event that they can't secure a mortgage, then the value of the property could be adversely impacted. In the last decade most banks and building societies have increased the required minimum lease length that they are prepared to accept
