Top reasons for Kilgetty lease extension


Top reasons for lease extension now:

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

The only way is down when it comes to Kilgetty lease terms. Kilgetty flats that have a lease term lower than eighty years will de-escalate in value even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will increase.

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

Leasehold properties in Kilgetty with in excess of one hundred years left on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

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

Mortgage companies are really clamping down as regards to properties in Kilgetty with short leases. For instance you might discover that their lending requirements are stricter and that they alter interest rates depending on the unexpired lease term. Some may even refuse to lend completely, so if you wanted to sell, your remaining options would be to find a cash purchaser, or try your luck at auction thus narrowing the amount of prospective purchasers.

Having 53 years unexpired we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £37,100 and £42,800 plus costs.
