Increase your lease and increase your Holmrook property value

The closer a residential lease in Holmrook gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. If the lease has, over one hundred years to run then this decrease may be fractional however there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending without delay.

In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.

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

It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.
