Why you should commence your Newquay lease extension

Why you should commence your Newquay lease extension today:

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

When it comes to residential leasehold property in Newquay, you are actually buying an entitlement to live in a property for a set period of time. These days 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 a lease extension sooner rather than later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly particularly once there are fewer than eighty years left. Leasehold owners in Newquay with a lease drawing near to 81 years remaining should seriously think of extending it as soon as possible. When the lease term has fewer than eighty years left, under the current legislation the freeholder is entitled to calculate and demand a greater premium, assessed on a technical multiplication, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.

Newquay property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold properties in Newquay with more than 100 years remaining on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it.

Lenders will not issue a mortgage with a short lease

Banks and building societies are really restricting their approach as regards to properties in Newquay with short leases. For example you may find that their lending requirements are stricter and that they alter interest rates depending on how many years are left on the lease. Some may even refuse to lend completely, so if you needed to sell, your remaining options would be to find a cash buyer, or hope for the best at auction thus reducing your market.

Newquay Lease Extension Example Cases:

Georgia, Newquay, Cornwall,

In the wake of 9 months of unsuccessful negotiations with the landlord of her purpose-built apartment in Newquay, Georgia initiated the lease extension process just as her lease was nearing the crucial 80-year mark. The legal work was finalised in July 2014. The landlord’s charges were negotiated to approximately four hundred pounds.

Newquay case:

Last Summer we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. J Sánchez , who completed a basement apartment in Newquay in March 2009. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable flats in Newquay with 100 year plus lease were valued about £257,800. The average amount of ground rent was £65 collected quarterly. The lease concluded on 13 August 2091. Taking into account 65 years left we estimated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £18,100 and £20,800 not including legals.

Newquay case:

Last Spring we were e-mailed by Mr Y Cox , who owned a studio flat in Newquay in November 1998. We are asked if we could approximate the premium could be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Similar premises in Newquay with a long lease were in the region of £191,400. The average ground rent payable was £55 invoiced yearly. The lease ended on 26 March 2080. Having 54 years remaining we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £34,200 and £39,600 exclusive of professional charges.
