<h4> A <a href="http://www.lendermonitor.com/conveyancing/loc/hither-green">Hither Green</a> leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.
</h4>
<p>
Hither Green leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has about ninety years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. It is important to recognise that it is that it is financially advisable for your lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease drops lower than 80 years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. Leasehold owners in Hither Green will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a lawyer to confirm your eligibility. In certain circumstances you may not qualify. There are prescribed deadlines and formalities to comply with once the process has commenced so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
<h4>An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold</h4>
<p>
Leasehold residencies in Hither Green with in excess of 100 years unexpired on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it. <h4>Lending institutions may decide not to loan monies on a short lease</h4> Banks and building societies are really clamping down as regards to homes in Hither Green with short leases. For instance you might discover that their lending criteria are stricter and that they alter interest rates depending on the unexpired lease term. Some may even refrain from lending completely, so where you wanted to sell, your remaining options would be to find a cash purchaser, or hope for the best at auction thus limiting your market.

<h5> Sarah, Hither Green, South East London,</h5>
<p> Subsequent to protracted discussions with the landlord of her first floor apartment in Hither Green, Sarah commenced the lease extension process just as the lease was coming close to the critical 80-year mark. The legal work was finalised in April 2010. The landlord’s fees were negotiated to under six hundred GBP.
<h5>Hither Green case:</h5>
<p>
Last Winter we were called by Dr S Moreau , who
was assigned a lease of a purpose-built flat in Hither Green in November 2006. The question was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative homes in Hither Green with an extended lease were in the region of £255,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced yearly. The lease concluded on 7 April 2097. Taking into account 71 years left we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional charges.
