There is no doubt about it a leasehold property in Markfield is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. Where the residual term has, over one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a stage when a lease has less than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary rational as to why you should extend the lease without delay. Many flat owners in Markfield will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a lawyer can advise whether you qualify to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold premises in Markfield with over 100 years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
