Why you should start your Woodcote Green lease extension


Main reasons to commence your Woodcote Green lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Woodcote Green property value

Woodcote Green residential property owned on a long lease is a depreciating asset because a leaseholder merely owns the property for a set term.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a property with over one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Lending institutions may decide not to issue a mortgage on a short lease

Banks and building societies vary in their lending criteria. Some set the bar at 75 years outstanding on the lease; others may be content with anything over 70 years. With less than sixty years, it may be difficult to get a mortgage at all.
