As the the remaining lease term of a Ruskington domestic lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the residual term has, over 100 years to run then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a point in time when a lease has fewer than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main logic behind why you should consider extending without delay. The majority of flat owners in Ruskington will meet the qualifying criteria; nevertheless a lawyer will be able to advise if you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.
Leasehold residencies in Ruskington with in excess of one hundred years outstanding on the lease are sometimes regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges warrant it.
