Top reasons for Jarrow lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Jarrow property value

The basic rule is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Jarrow can extend the lease for an additional 90 years in accordance with statute. Do think carefully before delaying your Jarrow lease extension. Shelving that expense now simply escalates the amount you will ultimately be required to pay to extend the lease.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Jarrow with more than one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges warrant it.

Banks and Building Societies may decide not to finance a property on a short lease

Banks and building societies are tightening their criteria and many now expect flats to have at least sixty if not seventy years remaining once the mortgage has expired. Given that a number of flats in Jarrow were created in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s this means many now require lease extensions if they if they are to be mortgageable.

Jarrow Lease Extension Example Cases:

Oscar, Jarrow, Tyne And Wear,

Oscar owned a studio flat in Jarrow being sold with a lease of a few days over 61 years remaining. Oscar informally contacted his landlord a well known Bristol-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent to start with set at £150 per annum and increase every twenty five years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Oscar to invoke his statutory right. Oscar obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make a more informed decision and deal with the matter and readily saleable.

Jarrow case:

Mr Tommy Flores completed a newly refurbished flat in Jarrow in July 2009. The dilemma was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable homes in Jarrow with a long lease were worth £235,200. The average ground rent payable was £45 billed quarterly. The lease terminated in 2092. Having 66 years unexpired we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 not including costs.

Jarrow case:

Dr Ben Bailey was assigned a lease of a ground floor flat in Jarrow in September 1996. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price could be for a ninety year lease extension. Identical premises in Jarrow with 100 year plus lease were valued about £275,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £55 billed every twelve months. The lease elapsed on 12 September 2103. Given that there were 77 years left we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £13,300 and £15,400 exclusive of costs.
