Why you should commence your Llandeilo lease extension


Main reasons to start your Llandeilo lease extension today:

A Llandeilo leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The only way is down when it comes to Llandeilo lease terms. Llandeilo flats that have a lease term shorter than eighty years will reduce in value at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will go up.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold premises in Llandeilo with more than one hundred years unexpired on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.

Mortgage lenders will not lend on a short lease

Most mortgage companies will be unwilling to grant a mortgage on a lease with less than seventy years remaining - although this varies from lender to lender. A purchaser will no doubt encounter difficulties in obtaining a mortgage and this will result in your Llandeilo property being difficult to sell or remortgage.

Llandeilo Lease Extension Example Cases:

Rachael, Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire,

In the wake of 9 months of unsuccessful correspondence with the freeholder of her first floor apartment in Llandeilo, Rachael commenced the lease extension process just as the lease was coming close to the critical eighty-year deadline. The lease extension was finalised in November 2005. The landlord’s charges were negotiated to about 450 pounds.

Llandeilo case:

Last month we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. N Thompson , who was assigned a lease of a first floor apartment in Llandeilo in July 2000. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparative premises in Llandeilo with a long lease were in the region of £290,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 billed yearly. The lease terminated in 2098. Considering the 73 years remaining we estimated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £9,500 and £11,000 exclusive of fees.

Llandeilo case:

Mr and Mrs. R Khan bought a basement apartment in Llandeilo in November 2008. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Similar properties in Llandeilo with a long lease were valued around £235,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £60 invoiced every twelve months. The lease terminated on 16 November 2087. Considering the 62 years outstanding we estimated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £21,900 and £25,200 not including expenses.
