Owning a flat usually means owning a lease of the property, which has a finite term of years. your lease will ordinarily be granted for a prescribed period of time , ordinarily 99 or 125 years, although we have come across longer and shorter terms in Wells Next The Sea. Clearly, the length of lease remaining shortens as time goes by. This is often ignored and only raises itself as an issue when the residence needs to be disposed of or re-mortgaged. The shorter the lease the lower the value of the property and the more it will cost to extend the lease. Eligible leaseholders in Wells Next The Sea have the right to extend the lease for an additional ninety years in accordance with the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. Do give due consideration before putting off your Wells Next The Sea lease extension. Putting off that expense now simply increases the price you will eventually have to pay for a lease extension
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
