Increase your lease and increase your Wolviston property value

The rule of thumb is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Wolviston can extend the lease for an additional 90 years in accordance with Leasehold Reform legislation. Please give careful consideration before delaying your Wolviston lease extension. Postponing that expense now simply escalates the amount you will ultimately have to pay to extend the lease.

An extended lease is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Mortgage lenders may decide not to finance a property on a short lease

Mortgage Lenders are distinct in their lending criteria. Some set the bar at 75 years outstanding on the lease; others may be content with anything over 70 years. With less than sixty years, it may be difficult to get a mortgage at all.
