As the length of the unexpired term of a Papworth Everard residential lease diminished so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the lease has, beyond 125 years to run then this decrease may be negligible that being said there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main reason why you should extend the lease sooner as opposed to later. The majority of flat owners in Papworth Everard will qualify for this right; however a conveyancing solicitor should be able to confirm whether you are eligible to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have owned the property for less than two years.
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 residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.
