Why you should start your Flamborough lease extension


Main reasons to commence your Flamborough lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Flamborough property value

For anyone whose Flamborough property is held on a long lease, our message is clear – if you ignore the situation, your property will ultimately revert to the freeholder, leaving you empty-handed. The shorter the lease the lower the value of the property and the more expensive it will be to procure a lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold properties in Flamborough with over 100 years remaining on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Lending institutions may not issue a mortgage on a short lease

Lenders are making their criteria more stringent and a meaningful number now want flats to have a minimum of 60 if not 70 years left once the mortgage has expired. As many flats in Flamborough were built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s as a result many now need to be extended if they if they are to be mortgageable.

Flamborough Lease Extension Example Cases:

Kirsty, Flamborough, East Yorkshire,

In the wake of 9 months of lengthy discussions with the landlord of her leasehold apartment in Flamborough, Kirsty initiated the lease extension process as the eighty year mark was fast approaching. The legal work was concluded in May 2009. The landlord’s fees were kept to an absolute minimum.

Flamborough case:

Mr and Mrs. J Thomas took over the lease of a studio flat in Flamborough in April 2011. We are asked if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by ninety years. Similar flats in Flamborough with an extended lease were worth £267,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 invoiced every twelve months. The lease elapsed on 14 September 2092. Considering the 67 years unexpired we approximated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £14,300 and £16,400 plus professional charges.

Flamborough case:

Last August we were phoned by Mr Hugo Cooper , who was assigned a lease of a studio apartment in Flamborough in May 1998. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparable premises in Flamborough with 100 year plus lease were valued about £201,200. The average amount of ground rent was £55 billed monthly. The lease expiry date was on 22 August 2081. Given that there were 56 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus expenses.
