Increase your lease and increase your Little Hulton property value

With a residential leasehold premises in Little Hulton, you are actually purchasing an entitlement to live in a property for a prescribed time frame. In recent years flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you should think about a lease extension sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly notably when there are less than eighty years remaining. Residents in Little Hulton with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. Once the lease term has below 80 years remaining, under the current statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a greater amount, assessed on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
