Top reasons for Ormesby lease extension

Why you should start your Ormesby lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Ormesby property value

The basic rule is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Ormesby can extend the lease for an additional 90 years under the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. Please think carefully before delaying your Ormesby lease extension. Postponing the costs now simply escalates the premium you will eventually be required to pay for a lease extension.

Ormesby property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold premises in Ormesby with in excess of 100 years unexpired on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges merit it.

Lenders will not issue a mortgage on a short lease

Lenders are really clamping down as regards to homes in Ormesby with short leases. For example you might discover that their lending criteria are stricter and that they adjust interest rates depending on the unexpired lease term. Some may even refuse to lend completely, so where you needed to sell, your only options would be to find a cash purchaser, or hope for the best at auction thus narrowing the number of prospective buyers.

Ormesby case:

Mr and Mrs. D Wood acquired a one bedroom flat in Ormesby in August 2011. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative flats in Ormesby with a long lease were worth £223,400. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected monthly. The lease expiry date was on 5 March 2085. Given that there were 59 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 not including fees.

Ormesby case:

Last month we were approach by Dr W Richardson , who moved into a basement flat in Ormesby in July 1995. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparable properties in Ormesby with 100 year plus lease were valued about £205,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 collected quarterly. The lease lapsed on 21 March 2105. Having 79 years left we estimated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 not including expenses.
