Increase your lease and increase your Frodsham property value

With a domestic leasehold property in Frodsham, you are in fact renting it for a certain period of time. These days flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you may think about extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly especially when there are fewer than eighty years remaining. Anyone in Frodsham with a lease approaching 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it without delay. Once a lease has below eighty years left, under the relevant statute the freeholder can calculate and levy a greater amount, assessed on a technical computation, known as “marriage value” which is due.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Lending institutions will not lend on a short lease

Many banks and building societies insist on a lengthy amount of time remaining on a leasehold property before they will consider it as adequate security. Regardless of whether you need a mortgage, you should be aware that it is likely that someone intending to acquire your property in the future might well do, so where they can't get a mortgage, then the value of the property could be adversely impacted. In the last decade many mortgage lenders have increased the required minimum lease length that they are willing to accept
