Why you should commence your Sutton on Trent lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Sutton on Trent lease extension today:

A Sutton on Trent leasehold property depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

Sutton on Trent leases on residential properties are gradually losing value. The shorter the remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and accordingly any extension of your lease becomes more expensive. It is the case that most Sutton on Trent tenants have the right to extend their lease by an additional ninety years by virtue of the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. If you are a leasehold owner in Sutton on Trent you should investigate if your lease has between seventy and ninety years left. In particular once the remaining lease term slips under 80 years, the compensation to the landlord for any lease extension sharply increases as an element of the premium you will incur is what is known as a marriage value

Sutton on Trent property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Lenders may not issue a mortgage with a short lease

Whether or not the lease is be regarded as a short lease varies by mortgage company, yet banks and building societies start to become nervous at around 75 years. This may cause difficulties when you come to market or refinance your flat as it will be practically unmortgageable. Even though you may have no immediate intention to sell but when you do your purchaser will have to wait 2 years before they can commence the legal procedures for a lease extension.
