Marazion property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Lenders may not finance a property on a short lease

Mortgage Lenders vary in their lending criteria. Some draw the line at 75 years outstanding on the lease; others may be happy with anything over seventy years. With less than sixty years, it may be challenging to get a mortgage at all.

Lender Requirement
Halifax Minimum 70 years from the date of the mortgage.
Leeds Building Society 85 years remaining from the start of the mortgage.
Lloyds TSB Scotland Minimum 70 years from the date of the mortgage.
Royal Bank of Scotland Mortgage term plus 30 years.
Virgin 85 years at the time of completion. If it's less, we require it to be extended on or before completion.

In 2010 we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. F Davies who, having bought a one bedroom apartment in Marazion in April 2005. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be for a 90 year lease extension. Comparable homes in Marazion with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £250,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 billed every twelve months. The lease came to a finish in 2096.
