Why you should commence your Peterston Super Ely lease extension


Main reasons to commence your Peterston Super Ely lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Peterston Super Ely property value

The closer a domestic lease in Peterston Super Ely nears to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the lease has, beyond one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could be significant. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending sooner than later. Most flat owners in Peterston Super Ely will meet the qualifying criteria; nevertheless a conveyancer will be able to advise if you qualify to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most frequent reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Peterston Super Ely with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Lending institutions may not lend with a short lease

The trend since 2008 has been for mortgage companies to tighten lending criteria generally - this has extended to the types of security over which the home loan is to be granted. This has meant the minimum number of years remaining under the lease required by banks has increased. In the past banks were content with 25 years plus the term of the loan - routinely fifty year leases but those requirements evolved by the requirement for lengthy leases - many use a minimum term of 75 years as a prerequisite.
