Why you should start your Lakenham lease extension


Main reasons to commence your Lakenham lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Lakenham property value

The rule of thumb is, all other factors being equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Lakenham have the right to extend the lease for a further 90 years in accordance with legislation. Do think carefully before delaying your Lakenham lease extension. Putting off the costs now simply increases the amount you will eventually have to pay for a lease extension.

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

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

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

Mortgage lenders are less likely to grant a loan offer on a residential property in Lakenham with a short lease. Some lenders simply refuse to lend on leases with less than 75 years remaining.

Lakenham Lease Extension Example Cases:

Alicia, Lakenham, Norfolk,

Subsequent to unsuccessful discussions with the freeholder of her first floor flat in Lakenham, Alicia started the lease extension process as the 80 year threshold was rapidly approaching. The lease extension completed in June 2009. The freeholder’s fees were kept to an absolute minimum.

Lakenham case:

Mr and Mrs. D Khan bought a studio apartment in Lakenham in June 2011. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would likely be to extend the lease by an additional years. Identical flats in Lakenham with 100 year plus lease were valued about £257,800. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 invoiced yearly. The lease expired on 14 February 2091. Given that there were 65 years unexpired we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £18,100 and £20,800 plus professional charges.

Lakenham case:

Dr K James owned a newly refurbished flat in Lakenham in November 2005. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price could be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Identical premises in Lakenham with 100 year plus lease were worth £191,400. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £55 collected per annum. The lease came to a finish on 7 November 2080. Taking into account 54 years left we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £34,200 and £39,600 exclusive of professional charges.
