As the length of the unexpired term of a Goole domestic lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, more than 99 years to run then this decrease may be of little impact however there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending sooner as opposed to later. Most flat owners in Goole will meet the qualifying criteria; nevertheless a conveyancer can confirm if you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
Leasehold residencies in Goole with in excess of 100 years unexpired on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.
