Are you worried about the length of your lease?
Leases are
wasting assets - the shorter the lease length, the lower the value of your
property. Leases usually start to drop in value when they have less than 90
years to go. To ensure the value of your investment the lease must be extended.
This can either be done informally by agreement with the freeholder, or
formally under the Leasehold Reform Act whereby the freeholder is obliged to
grant a 90 year lease extension in return for paying a premium. These premiums
can vary wildly, so it is crucial that you get a valuation to make sure that
you are paying the right amount, and no more.
We can provide you with a clear,
reasoned, concise report, and if the freeholder queries your valuation, we are
also happy to help you to negotiate with them.
