Why you should start your Frizington lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Frizington lease extension today:

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

Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a set term of years. your lease will usually be granted for a set period of time , usually 99 or 125 years, although we have come across longer and shorter terms in Frizington. Clearly, the period of lease remaining reduces as time goes by. This may slip by relatively unnoticed when the residence needs to be sold or re-mortgaged. The fewer the years remaining the less it is worth and the more it will cost to extend the lease. Eligible long lease owners in Frizington have the right to extend the lease for a further ninety years under statute. You should give due attention before putting off your Frizington lease extension. Holding off the cost now likely increases the price you will ultimately incur to extend your lease

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

It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Banks and Building Societies will not finance a property on a short lease

Nearly all banks and building societies insist on a lengthy amount of time left on a leasehold residence before they will consider lending on it. Even if you don't require a mortgage, you should bear in mind that it is reasonable to assume that someone intending to acquire your property in the future might well do, so in the event that they are unable to secure a mortgage, then the value of the property will likely suffer. In the last decade many mortgage lenders have increased the required minimum lease length that they are willing to accept

Henry, Frizington, Cumbria,

Henry owned a conversion apartment in Frizington on the market with a lease of just over 61 years outstanding. Henry on an informal basis approached his landlord being a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The freeholder was prepared to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £125 annually. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Henry to exercise his statutory right. Henry obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make an informed judgement and deal with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
