Extending your lease
If you are a leasehold flat owner and have owned your property for over two years, you are entitled to extend your lease by 90 years (i.e. on top of your existing term) and to extinguish your ground rent. These types of valuations fall under, and are in accordance with, the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended).
If there are less than 85 years remaining on your lease, it is advisable to extend at the earliest opportunity before the cost of extending rises. At under 80 years, the premium will then include marriage value which will increase the premium.
“The service is superbly professional and reliable and, having benefited greatly from cost-effective and successful lease extensions in Brighton and Hertfordshire, I wouldn’t use anyone else.”
