Why you should start your Nafferton lease extension


Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Nafferton property value

When it comes to residential leasehold premises in Nafferton, you effectively rent it for a certain amount of time. Modern flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a long period of time, you may consider extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly notably once there are fewer than eighty years left. Residents in Nafferton with a lease nearing 81 years unexpired should seriously think of extending it without delay. Once a lease has fewer than 80 years left, under the relevant Act the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a greater premium, based on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.
