Main reasons to start your Maltby lease extension


Main reasons to commence your Maltby lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Maltby property value

The basic rule is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Maltby can extend the lease for an additional ninety years in accordance with statute. Please think carefully before delaying your Maltby lease extension. Putting off that expense now simply escalates the premium you will ultimately be required to pay for a lease extension.

An extended lease is almost 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 further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years remaining, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Lending institutions will not finance a property on a short lease

Banks and building societies are really clamping down as regards to homes in Maltby with short leases. For example you may find that their lending requirements are stricter and that they adjust interest rates depending on the unexpired lease term. Some may even refuse to lend completely, so if you needed to sell, your only options would be to find a cash buyer, or try your luck at auction thus reducing the number of potential purchasers.

Maltby case:

Mr and Mrs. W Roux was assigned a lease of a one bedroom apartment in Maltby in February 2006. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable flats in Maltby with 100 year plus lease were worth £191,400. The average amount of ground rent was £55 billed every twelve months. The lease expired on 23 February 2080. Considering the 54 years as a residual term we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £34,200 and £39,600 exclusive of fees.

Maltby case:

The average amount of ground rent was £45 billed every twelve months. The lease concluded in 2100.
