Why you should commence your Mablethorpe lease extension

Why you should commence your Mablethorpe lease extension today:

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

The only way is down when it comes to Mablethorpe lease terms. Mablethorpe properties that have a remaining term shorter than 80 years will de-escalate in market price at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will increase.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold properties in Mablethorpe with more than one hundred 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 reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Banks and Building Societies may decide not to issue a mortgage with a short lease

Lenders are really clamping down as regards to homes in Mablethorpe with short leases. For example you might discover that their lending requirements are stricter and that they alter interest rates depending on how many years are left on the lease. Some may even refuse to lend completely, so if you needed to sell, your only options would be to find a cash purchaser, or hope for the best at auction thus limiting your market.

Mablethorpe Lease Extension Case Studies:

Riley, Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire

Last Christmas Riley, started to get close to the 80-year mark with the lease on his garden apartment in Mablethorpe. Having purchased his property 18 years previously, the unexpired term was of little importance. Thankfully, it dawned on him that he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Riley arranged for a lease extension just in the nick of time last April. Riley and the landlord who owned the flat above ultimately agreed on the final figure of £6,000 . If he had missed the deadline, the price would have become more costly by a minimum £850.

Mablethorpe case:

Last Autumn we were contacted by Mrs Y Jackson , who purchased a studio flat in Mablethorpe in June 2004. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical premises in Mablethorpe with an extended lease were valued around £235,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 invoiced yearly. The lease elapsed on 10 May 2088. Taking into account 62 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £21,900 and £25,200 plus fees.
