Why you should start your Hoylake lease extension

Why you should start your Hoylake lease extension today:

A Hoylake lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The only way is down when it comes to Hoylake lease terms. Hoylake leaseholds that have a remaining term shorter than eighty years will drop in value even faster, and the cost of extending your lease will increase.

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

Leasehold premises in Hoylake with in excess of one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Mortgage lenders may not lend on a short lease

Many mortgage companies insist on a lengthy amount of time remaining on any leasehold property before they will contemplate it as adequate security. Regardless of whether you need a mortgage, you should be aware that it is reasonable to assume that someone wanting to purchase your property in the future might well do, so if they are unable to secure a mortgage, then the market price of your property will likely suffer. Since 2008 many banks and building societies have increased the required minimum lease length that they are prepared to lend on
