Why you should commence your Marple Bridge lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Marple Bridge lease extension today:

A Marple Bridge lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

Owning a flat usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a finite term of years. The lease will normally be granted for a set period of time , usually 99 or 125 years, although we have witnessed longer and shorter terms in Marple Bridge. Clearly, the term of lease remaining shortens as time goes by. This may slip by relatively unnoticed when the flat or house has to be disposed of or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more expensive it will be to procure a lease extension. Qualifying long lease owners in Marple Bridge have the legal entitlement to extend the lease for an additional ninety years under Leasehold Reform legislation. Please give due consideration before delaying your Marple Bridge lease extension. Holding off that expense now likely increases the price you will eventually have to pay to extend your lease

Marple Bridge property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Lending institutions may decide not to grant a mortgage with a short lease

Banks and Building Societies have set criteria when lending monies secured on leasehold property. Many will simply refrain from lending at all once an unexpired lease term goes under a specified unexpired lease term. Many Banks and Building Societies will not regard property with a remaining below 75 years as adequate security. As well as this being important when selling, it is also relevant if you are seeking to remortgage your Marple Bridge home.
