Why you should start your Moulton lease extension

Why you should start your Moulton lease extension today:

A Moulton lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

It’s an underpublicised certainty that a Moulton residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value reduces in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the reduction being disguised by increases in the Moulton property prices.Once your lease nears 85ish years, you need to start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease dips lower than eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be due. Most leasehold owners in Moulton will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancing solicitor will be able to confirm if you are eligibility. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timeframes and procedures to be adhered to once the process has commenced and you will need to be guided by your lawyer from beginning to end of the process.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Lending institutions will not lend with a short lease

Whether or not the lease is be regarded as a short lease varies by mortgage company, yet banks and building societies start to become concerned at around 75 years. This will cause difficulties as and when you need to sell or refinance your flat as it will be practically unmortgageable. Even though you may have no imminent plan to sell but when you do your buyer will need to hold off for two years before being able to exercise the right to a an extension to the lease.

Moulton case:

Dr R Morel was assigned a lease of a recently refurbished apartment in Moulton in September 1996. The question was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Comparative residencies in Moulton with a long lease were worth £200,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 invoiced per annum. The lease ended in 2103. Considering the 77 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
