Why you should commence your Hope Valley lease extension

Main reasons to start your Hope Valley lease extension today:

A Hope Valley leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The only way is down when it comes to Hope Valley lease terms. Hope Valley flats that have a remaining term shorter than 80 years will drop in market price even faster, and the cost of extending your lease will go up.

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

It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Banks and Building Societies may decide not to grant a mortgage with a short lease

Lending institutions have set criteria when lending monies secured on leasehold homes. Some will simply not lend at all once an unexpired lease term drops under a specified unexpired lease term. Many Banks and Building Societies will not consider property with a remaining term of less than 75 years as adequate security. In addition to impacting your ability to sell, it is also relevant if you are wanting to refinance your Hope Valley home.

Hope Valley Lease Extension Example Cases:

Harvey, Hope Valley, Derbyshire

During the course of the last few months Harvey, came perilously close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his garden flat in Hope Valley. Having bought his property two decades ago, the lease term was of little interest. Luckily, he realised he would soon be paying an inflated amount for a lease extension. Harvey arranged for a lease extension just ahead of time in September. Harvey and the freeholder via the managing agents in the end agreed on the final figure of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the premium would have increased by a minimum £950.

Hope Valley case:

Mr Riley Bertrand was assigned a lease of a purpose-built apartment in Hope Valley in November 2011. The dilemma was if we could estimate the compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable premises in Hope Valley with 100 year plus lease were worth £248,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced yearly. The lease ended on 26 January 2089. Considering the 63 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £20,900 and £24,200 exclusive of fees.

Hope Valley case:

Mr and Mrs. P Alexander acquired a first floor apartment in Hope Valley in August 2006. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar homes in Hope Valley with an extended lease were valued around £181,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 collected quarterly. The lease expiry date was in 2078. Considering the 52 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £30,400 and £35,200 not including professional charges.
