Top reasons for Trefriw lease extension

Main reasons to start your Trefriw lease extension today:

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

The market value of Trefriw leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The cost of extending the lease can increase substantially once the remaining term is less than eighty years

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

Leasehold premises in Trefriw with over one hundred years remaining on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Lenders may decide not to grant a mortgage on a short lease

Mortgage lenders have set criteria when loaning funds charged on leasehold property. Many will simply refuse lend at all once an unexpired lease term goes under a certain unexpired lease term. Many Lending institutions will not regard property with an unexpired below seventy years suitable security. In addition to impacting your ability to sell, it is also relevant if you are intending to refinance your Trefriw home.

Trefriw Lease Extension Case Summaries:

Jack, Trefriw, Conwy

Two years ago Jack, started to get close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his basement apartment in Trefriw. In buying his home two decades ago, the lease term was of no concern. Fortunately, he realised he would imminently be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Jack extended the lease just under the wire last April. Jack and the landlord who owned the flat above ultimately agreed on a premium of £6,000 . If the lease had dipped below 80 years, the amount would have escalated by a minimum £900.

Trefriw case:

Mr and Mrs. J Collins moved into a one bedroom apartment in Trefriw in August 2002. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) compensation to the landlord could be for a ninety year lease extension. Similar flats in Trefriw with a long lease were in the region of £218,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 billed quarterly. The lease concluded on 10 February 2089. Having 63 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £17,100 and £19,800 not including professional charges.

Trefriw case:

Last February we were contacted by Ms Ellie Bonnet , who took over the lease of a recently refurbished flat in Trefriw in February 2010. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Comparative premises in Trefriw with a long lease were valued around £265,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 billed monthly. The lease ended in 2100. Given that there were 74 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including costs.
