<p>
West Beckton leases on residential deteriorating in value. Where your lease has in the region of 90 years left, you should start considering the need for a lease extension. If lease term dips under 80 years, you will then have to pay 50% of the property's 'marriage value' on top of the usual cost of the lease extension to your landlord. Marriage value is the amount of additional value that a lease extension will add to the property. Flat owners in West Beckton will usually qualify for a lease extension; however a solicitor should be able confirm your eligibility. In some cases you may not be entitled. There are prescribed timetables and steps to comply with once the process is initiated so it’s best to be guided by a lawyer during the process.
<h4>West Beckton property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold</h4>
<p>
Leasehold residencies in West Beckton with more than one hundred years unexpired on the lease are sometimes referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little upside in purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and service charges justify it. <h4>Lenders may not loan monies with a short lease</h4> Mortgage Lenders differ in their lending criteria. Some set the bar at seventy five years left on the lease; others may be content with anything in excess 70 years. Below 60 years, it may be problematic to obtain a mortgage in the first place.

West Beckton Lease Extension Example Cases:

<h5> Sam, West Beckton, London,</h5>
<p>
Sam owned a 2 bedroom flat in West Beckton on the market with a lease of fraction over 61 years unexpired. Sam informally spoke with his landlord a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder was prepared to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent initially set at £100 per annum and doubled every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Sam to invoke his statutory right. Sam procured expert advice and was able to make an informed decision and handle with the matter and ending up with a market value flat.
<h5>West Beckton case:</h5>
<p>
Last month we were called by Dr Elijah Bonnet , who
completed a recently refurbished apartment in West Beckton in January 1997. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price would likely be to prolong the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable premises in West Beckton with a long lease were in the region of £174,200. The average amount of ground rent was £55 collected monthly. The lease finished in 2077. Considering the 51 years unexpired we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £31,400 and £36,200 exclusive of expenses.
