Murton leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. if your lease has in the region of ninety years unexpired, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. If lease term dips under 80 years, you will then have to pay half of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to your landlord. Marriage value is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add to the property. Leasehold owners in Murton will mostly be legally entitled to a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a conveyancer to confirm your eligibility. In some situations you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and procedures to follow once the process has commenced so it’s best to be guided by a conveyancer during the process.
Leasehold properties in Murton with more than 100 years left on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges justify it.
