Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Tadworth property value

The closer a domestic lease in Tadworth gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. Where the residual term has, more than one hundred years remaining then this decrease may be negligible that being said there will become a stage when a lease has less than eighty years left as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase sharply the cost. It is the main reason why you should extend the lease without delay. Many flat owners in Tadworth will qualify for this right; that being said a conveyancing solicitor will be able to advise if you are eligible 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.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with over 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Banks and Building Societies may not issue a mortgage with a short lease

Lending institutions are less likely to issue a loan offer on a residential flat in Tadworth with a short lease. Many lenders simply refuse a mortgage on leases with below 75 years left.

The legal work was finalised in January 2013. The landlord’s fees were restricted to a tad over 550 pounds.

Tadworth case:

Last month we were approach by Mr and Mrs. D Reed , who was assigned a lease of a purpose-built flat in Tadworth in June 1995. We are asked if we could approximate the price would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Comparative properties in Tadworth with a long lease were valued about £235,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 invoiced quarterly. The lease terminated in 2092. Given that there were 66 years remaining we approximated the compensation to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £12,400 and £14,200 plus professional charges.
