Owning a apartment usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a set term of years. your lease will ordinarily be granted for a set period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have witnessed longer and shorter terms in North Ferriby. Clearly, the period of lease remaining reduces as time goes by. This may pass by relatively unnoticed when the property has to be sold or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more expensive it will be to extend the lease. Eligible long lease owners in North Ferriby have the right to extend the lease for a further ninety years under statute. Please give careful consideration before putting off your North Ferriby lease extension. Putting off the cost now simply increases the price you will ultimately incur to extend your lease
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than 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 ahead.
