As the the remaining lease term of a New Farnley residential lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the residual term has, more than one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main rational as to why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in New Farnley will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a lawyer can confirm whether you qualify for a lease extension. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have owned the property for under two years.
It is generally considered that a property with over 100 years remaining 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 ahead.
