Top reasons for Goodrich lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Goodrich property value

Goodrich residential property owned on a long lease is a depreciating asset as the leaseholder only owns the property for a set term.

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

Leasehold premises in Goodrich with in excess of 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 home. In such circumstances there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

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

Banks and building societies differ in their lending criteria. Some draw the line at seventy five years outstanding on the lease; others may be happy with anything in excess 70 years. Below 60 years, it may be difficult to get a mortgage in the first place.
