Moss Nook leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. Where your lease has in the region of ninety years left, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. Eighty years is a significant number: when the remaining term of a lease drops below this level then you start paying an additional element called marriage value. Flat owners in Moss Nook will usually be legally entitled to a lease extension; however a solicitor should be able confirm if you qualify. In some circumstances you may not be entitled. There are prescribed deadlines and formalities to comply with once the process is triggered so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
