As the the remaining lease term of a Newton Aycliffe domestic lease lessens so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the residual term has, beyond one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be negligible however there will become a point in time when a lease has less than eighty years unexpired 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 primary reason why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Newton Aycliffe will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a lawyer can advise if you are eligible to extend your lease. 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 residential leasehold with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
