Unfortunately that a Tedburn St Mary residential lease is a deteriorating asset. The lease value drops in proportion to its lease length. The extent of this is taken for granted in the early years due to the depreciation being disguised by increases in the Tedburn St Mary property prices.Where your lease has approximately 90 years left, you should start thinking about a lease extension. An important point to note is that it is desirable for lease extension to take place before the term of the existing lease falls under eighty years - otherwise a higher premium will be due. Most leasehold owners in Tedburn St Mary will be able to extend under the legislation; however a lawyer will be able to confirm if you qualify for an extension. In some cases you may not qualify. There are also strict timeframes and procedures to be adhered to once the process has commenced and you will need to be guided by your lawyer for the duration of the formalities.
It is conventional wisdom 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 35 years left, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
