Unfortunately that a New Rossington residential lease is a wasting asset. As the lease term diminishes so does the value of the property. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the depreciation being disguised by increases in the New Rossington property prices.Once your lease nears 85ish years, you should start thinking about 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 falls lower than eighty years - otherwise a higher amount will be payable. The majority of flat owners in New Rossington will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer should be able to confirm if you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are also strict timetables and procedures to follow once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancer throughout the formalities.
Leasehold premises in New Rossington with in excess of 100 years outstanding on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.
