Lytham St Annes leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has approximately 90 years unexpired, you should start thinking about a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the remaining term of a lease drops below this level then you start incurring an additional element called marriage value. Leasehold owners in Lytham St Annes will usually qualify for a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancing solicitor to confirm if you qualify. In some cases you may not qualify. There are prescribed deadlines and procedures to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s prudent to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
Leasehold residencies in Lytham St Annes with in excess of 100 years left on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home.
