Top reasons for Scunthorpe lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Scunthorpe lease extension today:

A Scunthorpe lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

As the the remaining lease term of a Scunthorpe residential lease diminished so does its value and therefore the value of your property. If the lease has, in excess of one hundred years to run then this decrease may be of little impact nevertheless there will become a stage when a lease has under than 80 years remaining as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the primary rational as to why you should consider extending sooner than later. The majority of flat owners in Scunthorpe will qualify for this right; that being said a lawyer should be able to advise if you qualify to extend your lease. In limited situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.

Scunthorpe property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Similar premises in Scunthorpe with a long lease were in the region of £200,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £50 billed monthly. The lease finished in 2103. Given that there were 77 years left we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £8,600 and £9,800 not including costs.

Mr and Mrs. A André moved into a one bedroom apartment in Scunthorpe in May 2006. The question was if we could estimate the premium could be for a 90 year extension to my lease.
