Main reasons to commence your Yaxley lease extension


Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Yaxley property value

The only way is down when it comes to Yaxley lease terms. Yaxley leaseholds that have a lease term less than than eighty years will reduce in value even faster, and the cost of extending your lease will increase.

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

It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years remaining, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Lending institutions will not finance a property with a short lease

Lenders will not grant a mortgage on short residential leases. You are likely to encounter difficulties where you wish to sell your flat in Yaxley if the unexpired term of your lease is less than the criteria set by most lenders. Different lenders have different criteria but on the whole they are looking for an unexpired term of at least 65 years.
