Parbold leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. Where your lease has in the region of 90 years unexpired, you should start thinking about a lease extension. 80 years is a significant number: when the unexpired term of a lease dips below this level then you start incurring an additional element called marriage value. Flat owners in Parbold will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however it’s a good idea to check with a lawyer to confirm your eligibility. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict deadlines and formalities to comply with once the process has commenced so it’s sensible to be guided by a conveyancing solicitor during the process.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
