The nearer a residential lease in Scotter gets to zero years unexpired, the the greater the reduction in the value of the property. If the lease has, in excess of 125 years to run then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a stage when a lease has less than 80 years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending without delay. Many flat owners in Scotter will meet the qualifying criteria; that being said a conveyancing solicitor can confirm if you qualify for a lease extension. 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.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
