Main reasons to start your Llanfairfechan lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Llanfairfechan property value

Owning a flat usually means owning a lease of the property, this is a ‘time-limited’ interest becoming shorter every day. This lease will usually be granted for a fixed period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have seen longer and shorter terms in Llanfairfechan. Clearly, the length of lease remaining reduces as time goes by. This may pass by relatively unnoticed when the residence needs to be disposed of or refinanced. The shorter the lease the lower the value of the property and the more expensive it will be to obtain a lease extension. Eligible leaseholders in Llanfairfechan have the legal entitlement to extend the lease for a further 90 years under Leasehold Reform legislation. Do give careful attention before delaying your Llanfairfechan lease extension. Putting off that expense now likely increases the price you will ultimately have to pay for a lease extension

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years left, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Mortgage lenders may decide not to loan monies on a short lease

Banks and Building Societies have set criteria when lending funds secured on leasehold property. Many will simply refuse lend at all once an unexpired lease term goes lower than a certain unexpired lease term. Many Lending institutions will not regard property with an unexpired term of less than seventy years as adequate security. In addition to this being important when selling, it is also relevant where you are wanting to remortgage your Llanfairfechan home.
