Unfortunately that a Penarth residential lease is a deteriorating asset. As the lease term reduces so does the value of the property. The extent of this is taken for granted in the first few years due to the loss of value being disguised by increases in the Penarth property prices.Once your lease gets to 85ish years, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If the number of years remaining slips under eighty years, you will end up paying half of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to the landlord. The marriage fee is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add the property Most leasehold owners in Penarth will be able to extend under the legislation; however a conveyancer should be able to clarify if you qualify for an extension. In some situations you may not qualify. There are also strict timetables and procedures to follow once the process is instigated and you will need to be guided by your conveyancer from beginning to end of the formalities.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.
