Why you should commence your Valley lease extension

Why you should commence your Valley lease extension today:

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

Valley leases on residential properties are gradually decreasing in value. The shorter the remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and as a result any extension of the lease becomes more expensive. The majority of owners of residential leasehold property in Valley enjoy rights under legislation to extend the terms of their leases. Where you are a leasehold owner in Valley you should investigate if your lease has between 70 and ninety years left. There are compelling reasons why a Valley leaseholder with a lease having around eighty years remaining should take action to ensure that a lease extension is effected without delay

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

It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Lenders will not issue a mortgage with a short lease

Most mortgage companies require a lengthy amount of time remaining on any leasehold residence before they will consider it as adequate security. Even if you don't require a mortgage, you should be aware that it is probable that someone intending to acquire your property in the future might well do, so in the event that they can't obtain a mortgage, then the financial worth of your property will likely suffer. In the last decade many mortgage lenders have increased the required minimum lease length that they are prepared to lend on

Valley Lease Extension Example Cases:

Oscar, Valley, Isle Of Anglesey

During the course of the last few months Oscar, came precariously close to the 80-year mark with the lease on his leasehold flat in Valley. Having bought his property two decades ago, the unexpired term was of little importance. by good luck, he noticed he would imminently be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Oscar extended the lease at the eleventh hour last June. Oscar and the freeholder via the management company eventually agreed on an amount of £5,500 . If the lease had fallen below 80 years, the figure would have become more costly by a minimum £900.

Valley case:

Last August we were approach by Dr George Brown , who was assigned a lease of a basement apartment in Valley in November 2005. We are asked if we could estimate the premium could be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Similar properties in Valley with a long lease were in the region of £254,200. The average amount of ground rent was £60 collected per annum. The lease expired in 2077. Considering the 51 years left we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £43,700 and £50,600 not including expenses.

Valley case:

Mr and Mrs. G Collins was assigned a lease of a garden flat in Valley in May 2000. The question was if we could approximate the premium would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical properties in Valley with an extended lease were in the region of £210,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 invoiced annually. The lease lapsed on 25 January 2088. Given that there were 62 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be between £18,100 and £20,800 not including costs.
