The nearer a domestic lease in Maldon gets to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. Where the lease has, over one hundred years to run then this decrease may be negligible however there will become a point in time when a lease has under than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main rational as to why you should consider extending without delay. Many flat owners in Maldon will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a conveyancer can advise whether you are eligible for a lease extension. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
It is generally accepted that a property with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
