Why you should commence your Newton Ferrers lease extension


Top reasons for lease extension now:

Increase your lease and increase your Newton Ferrers property value

With a domestic leasehold property in Newton Ferrers, you are in fact renting it for a certain amount of time. Modern flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners become complacent as this seems like a long period of time, you may consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. Accepted thinking is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly particularly when there are less than 80 years left. Leasehold owners in Newton Ferrers with a lease approaching 81 years left should seriously think of extending it without delay. When a lease has under eighty years remaining, under the current legislation the landlord is entitled to calculate and levy a larger premium, assessed on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is due.

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Mortgage lenders will not lend on a short lease

Lending institutions are less likely to give a mortgage on a domestic property in Newton Ferrers with a short lease. Some lenders simply refuse to lend on leases with under 75 years remaining.
