Main reasons to commence your Ruthin lease extension

Main reasons to commence your Ruthin lease extension today:

Increase your lease and increase your Ruthin property value

Ruthin leases on residential properties are gradually decreasing in value. The shorter the remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and accordingly any extension of your lease becomes more expensive. It is the case that most Ruthin tenants have the right to extend their lease by an additional 90 years in accordance with the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. If you are a leasehold owner in Ruthin you would be well advised to see if your lease has between seventy and ninety years left. In particular once the remaining lease term slips under eighty years, the cost of any lease extension sharply increases as an element of the premium you pay is what is known as a marriage value

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

It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Ruthin Lease Extension Case Studies:

Tyler, Ruthin, Denbighshire

Last year Tyler, came perilously close to the eighty-year threshold with the lease on his studio flat in Ruthin. In buying his home two decades ago, the length of the lease was of minimal relevance. Thankfully, he noticed he would soon be paying an escalated premium for a lease extension. Tyler arranged for a lease extension just under the wire last January. Tyler and the freeholder via the managing agents eventually agreed on an amount of £5,000 . If the lease had dipped below 80 years, the figure would have increased by at least £1,000.

Ruthin case:

Mr and Mrs. L Young took over the lease of a first floor apartment in Ruthin in October 2008. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would likely be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Comparable premises in Ruthin with a long lease were worth £280,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced monthly. The lease finished on 20 November 2096. Having 70 years left we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of professional charges.

Ruthin case:

Last February we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. J Khan , who completed a one bedroom flat in Ruthin in September 1999. The dilemma was if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Identical premises in Ruthin with a long lease were worth £223,400. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £60 billed monthly. The lease expired in 2085. Considering the 59 years left we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus costs.
