Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Llanarmon Yn Ial property value

Llanarmon Yn Ial leases on residential deteriorating in value. if your lease has approximately ninety years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for a lease extension to be in place before the term of the current lease falls below 80 years - otherwise a higher amount will be due. Leasehold owners in Llanarmon Yn Ial will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however It would be wise to check with a conveyancer to check your eligibility. In certain cases you may not qualify.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Llanarmon Yn Ial with more than 100 years left on the lease are often regarded as a ‘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 service charges warrant it.

Lending institutions will not issue a mortgage with a short lease

Lenders are really restricting their approach as regards to homes in Llanarmon Yn Ial with short leases. For example you may find that their lending criteria are stricter and that they alter interest rates depending on how many years are left on the lease. Some may even refrain from lending completely, so where you needed to sell, your remaining options would be to find a cash buyer, or hope for the best at auction thus narrowing your market.
