Increase your lease and increase your Gamston property value

The market value of a leasehold property in Gamston is impacted by how long the lease has left to run. If it is near to or fewer than eighty years you should envisage problems on re-sale, so it is advisable to arrange for a lease extension prior to buying. It is preferable to commence the lease extension process when the lease still has 82 years remaining so that formalities can be concluded prior to the eighty year cut off point. Current legislation enables Gamston qualifying lessees to a ninety year extension added to their unexpired lease term (ie if your lease has 50 years left the statutory lease extension will provide a new term of 140 years). The purpose of the valuation is to arrive at an opinion of the amount payable by the lessee to the freeholder for the purchase of the lease extension.

Gamston property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
