Poulton Le Fylde leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. The shorter the remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and as a result any extension of the lease becomes more expensive. The majority of owners of residential leasehold property in Poulton Le Fylde enjoy rights under legislation to extend the terms of their leases. Where you are a leasehold owner in Poulton Le Fylde you must investigate if your lease has between seventy and 90 years remaining. There are good reasons why a Poulton Le Fylde flat owner with a lease having around 80 years left should take steps to ensure that a lease extension is effected without delay
It is generally accepted that a property with over 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
