Top reasons for North Ferriby lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

A North Ferriby lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, this is a ‘time-limited’ interest becoming shorter every day. The lease will usually be granted for a fixed period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have come across longer and shorter terms in North Ferriby. Inevitably, the term of lease left shortens as time goes by. This may slip by relatively unnoticed when the residence needs to be sold or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the lower the value of the property and the more expensive it will be to procure a lease extension. Eligible leaseholders in North Ferriby have the right to extend the lease for an additional ninety years in accordance with the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
