Top reasons for Pentre lease extension


Main reasons to start your Pentre lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Pentre property value

The rule of thumb is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more costly the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Pentre can extend the lease for a further 90 years under statute. Please give careful consideration before delaying your Pentre lease extension. Postponing the costs now simply escalates the premium you will ultimately be required to pay for a lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Lenders may decide not to loan monies on a short lease

Almost all mortgage companies insist on a lengthy amount of time left on any leasehold residence before they will contemplate it as adequate security. Regardless of whether you require a mortgage, you should keep in mind that it is likely that someone intending to acquire your property in the future might well do, so in the event that they can't get a mortgage, then the market price of the property will likely be adversely impacted. Since 2008 many banks and building societies have increased the required minimum lease length that they are willing to lend on
