Why you should commence your Kirk Ella lease extension

Why you should start your Kirk Ella lease extension today:

A Kirk Ella lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The value of Kirk Ella leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of extending the lease can increase significantly once the remaining term is less than eighty years

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

Leasehold premises in Kirk Ella with in excess of 100 years unexpired 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 property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Banks and Building Societies may not loan monies on a short lease

The propensity since over the last decade has been for mortgage companies to tighten lending requirements across the board - this has extended to the property over which the home loan is to be granted. This has resulted in the minimum number of years remaining under the lease required by lenders has increased. Historically mortgage companies would lend on a lease with twenty years plus the term of the loan - typically 50 year leases but those requirements are being increasingly undermined by the requirement for longer and longer leases - many use a minimum term of 75 years as a prerequisite.

Kirk Ella Lease Extension Example Cases:

Aimee, Kirk Ella, East Yorkshire,

In the wake of eight months of lengthy correspondence with the landlord of her one bedroom apartment in Kirk Ella, Aimee initiated the lease extension process just as her lease was nearing the crucial eighty-year deadline. The transaction was finalised in October 2011. The landlord’s charges were kept to an absolute minimum.

Kirk Ella case:

Mr and Mrs. W Pérez purchased a one bedroom apartment in Kirk Ella in November 2011. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable residencies in Kirk Ella with a long lease were worth £264,000. The average amount of ground rent was £60 invoiced every twelve months. The lease termination date was on 6 March 2079. Having 53 years remaining we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £37,100 and £42,800 exclusive of legals.

Kirk Ella case:

Last Winter we were called by Mr O Scott , who owned a recently refurbished apartment in Kirk Ella in January 2007.

The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 billed yearly. The lease concluded in 2090. Considering the 64 years outstanding we calculated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £15,200 and £17,600 not including fees.
