Top reasons for Lansbury lease extension

Top reasons for lease extension now:

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

As the length of the unexpired term of a Lansbury domestic lease decreases so does its value and therefore the value of your property. Where the lease has, in excess of 100 years to run then this decrease may be of little impact that being said there will become a point in time when a lease has less than 80 years unexpired as part of the premium you will incur is what is termed as a marriage value. This could increase markedly the cost. It is the main logic behind why you should extend the lease without delay. The majority of flat owners in Lansbury will qualify for this right; however a conveyancer should be able to advise whether you qualify to extend your lease. In certain situations you may not qualify, the most common reason being that you have not been the owner of the property for two years.

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

Leasehold properties in Lansbury with in excess of one hundred years left on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and maintenance charges merit it.

Lending institutions will not finance a property on a short lease

Mortgage companies are really clamping down as regards to homes in Lansbury with short leases. For instance you may find that their lending criteria are stricter and that they adjust interest rates depending on the unexpired lease term. Some may even refuse to lend completely, so where you wanted to sell, your remaining options would be to find a cash buyer, or hope for the best at auction thus narrowing the amount of prospective buyers.

Arthur, Lansbury, London,

Arthur was the the leasehold proprietor of a studio flat in Lansbury on the market with a lease of a few days over 59 years unexpired. Arthur informally spoke with his freeholder being a well known London-based freehold company for a lease extension. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent to start with set at £150 per annum and increase every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be due on a lease extension were Arthur to exercise his statutory right. Arthur obtained expert advice and secured an acceptable deal informally and sell the flat.

Lansbury case:

Last Spring we were e-mailed by Mr F Rose , who completed a newly refurbished apartment in Lansbury in January 2003. The question was if we could approximate the premium would be for a ninety year lease extension. Identical flats in Lansbury with 100 year plus lease were valued around £189,000. The average ground rent payable was £55 invoiced yearly. The lease ended on 3 November 2079. Considering the 53 years outstanding we approximated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £28,500 and £33,000 not including costs.
