Top reasons for Rise Park lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Rise Park lease extension today:

A Rise Park lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

The basic rule is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more costly the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Rise Park can extend the lease for a further ninety years in accordance with the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. Do think carefully before delaying your Rise Park lease extension. Shelving the costs now simply escalates the price you will ultimately have to pay for a lease extension.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Mortgage lenders will not loan monies on a short lease

Lending institutions have specific criteria when loaning monies charged on leasehold homes. Many will simply refrain from lending at all once an unexpired lease term goes beneath a specified unexpired lease term. Many Lending institutions will not consider property with a remaining below 75 years as acceptable security. In addition to impacting your ability to sell, it is also relevant if you are intending to refinance your Rise Park property.

Lender Requirement
Bank of Scotland Minimum 70 years from the date of the mortgage.
Leeds Building Society 85 years remaining from the start of the mortgage.
National Westminster Bank Mortgage term plus 30 years.
Royal Bank of Scotland Mortgage term plus 30 years.
Yorkshire Building Society 85 years from the date of completion of the mortgage. Please ensure that you explain the implications of a short term lease to the borrower.

The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 billed monthly. The lease concluded in 2104.
