Main reasons to start your Tyldesley lease extension

Main reasons to start your Tyldesley lease extension today:

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

With a residential leasehold property in Tyldesley, you are actually purchasing a right to reside in a property for a set period of time. These days flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a lengthy period of time, you may think about extending the lease sooner as opposed to later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately greater particularly when there are fewer than eighty years remaining. Leasehold owners in Tyldesley with a lease drawing near to 81 years left should seriously consider extending it as soon as possible. When a lease has fewer than 80 years remaining, under the current statute the landlord can calculate and demand a larger premium, assessed on a technical calculation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.

Tyldesley property with a lease extension has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Banks and Building Societies may decide not to finance a property on a short lease

Lending institutions have specific criteria when lending monies charged on leasehold homes. Some will simply not lend at all once an unexpired lease term drops beneath a certain unexpired lease term. Many Lending institutions will not regard property with a remaining term of less than 75 years suitable security. As well as this being important when selling, it is also relevant where you are wanting to remortgage your Tyldesley property.
