Unfortunately that a North Ferriby residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value reduces in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is not fully appreciated in the first few years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the North Ferriby property market.Once your lease nears 85ish years, you need to start considering a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease falls lower than eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be payable. Most flat owners in North Ferriby will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer will be able to clarify if you qualify for an extension. In some situations you may not qualify. There are also strict timeframes and procedures to follow once the process is initiated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancer from beginning to end of the formalities.

This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your home. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.
