Streetly leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has approximately ninety years unexpired, you should start thinking about a lease extension. If lease term is less than eighty years, you will then have to pay half of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the standard cost of the lease extension to the landlord. Marriage value is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add to the property. Leasehold owners in Streetly will mostly qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor will check if you qualify. In certain circumstances you may not qualify. There are prescribed timetables and formalities to follow once the process has commenced so it’s prudent to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
Leasehold residencies in Streetly with more than 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 situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.
