It’s an underpublicised certainty that a Noak Hill residential lease is a deteriorating asset. As the lease term diminishes so does the value of the property. The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Noak Hill property market.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you need to start considering a lease extension. If lease term falls under eighty years, you will end up paying half of the property's 'marriage value' in addition to the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. Marriage value is the amount of extra value that a lease extension will add the property The majority of flat owners in Noak Hill will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer will be able to confirm whether you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timetables and procedures to follow once the process has commenced and you will need to be guided by your lawyer for the duration of the process.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
