I had the pleasure of using Jatinder’s services to carry out a lease extension valuation on a recent purchase of a leasehold flat with 52 years unexpired. Jatinder was prompt with his communication and produced a thorough report laying out the details of expected premium to pay. I found using him an enjoyable experience and would recommend to others.

I used LeaseholdValuations.com to extend the lease on my flat which only had 59 years remaining. I had spoken to some other lease extension specialists previously but found LeaseholdValuations.com more friendly and much more helpful. They were very patient and helped me throughout each stage of the process. On top of this they saved me over £15,000 from what the freeholder was asking. I would certainly use them again and will be recommending them to my friends and family. Well done

A leasehold extension is the process of extending the lease term of a property held on a leasehold basis. It helps maintain the property’s value and desirability. Leasehold extension legislation allows leaseholders to extend their lease, ensuring the property remains attractive for sale or mortgage purposes.
The length of a leasehold extension can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, leasehold extensions are typically granted for an additional 90 years beyond the remaining term of the existing lease. However, it’s important to note that leasehold extension regulations can differ, and it’s advisable to consult local laws or seek professional advice like leasehold valuations for accurate information regarding leasehold extensions in a specific jurisdiction.
Extending the leasehold of a property offers benefits such as increased property value, improved marketability, easier access to mortgage financing, peace of mind and security, avoidance of escalating costs, and more control over property management.
After 99 years, the leasehold property typically reverts back to the freeholder, unless the lease is extended by the leaseholder. The ownership of the property, along with the land it is built on, returns to the freeholder once the lease expires. As a lease approaches its expiration, the property’s value may decrease, making it more challenging to sell or mortgage. It is advisable for leaseholders to consider extending their lease well before it reaches the 99-year mark to maintain the property’s value and their ownership rights.
Fair Price: A leasehold valuation ensures you pay a fair price for lease extension or freehold purchase.
Increased Property Value: Extending the lease or buying the freehold can potentially increase your property’s value.
Cost Savings: Accurate valuation helps minimize future costs like ground rent.
Stronger Negotiation: A valuation report strengthens your position during negotiations with landlords.
Legal Compliance: Valuations ensure you meet legal requirements for lease extensions or freehold purchases.
Future Planning: Valuations help you plan for selling or passing on the property to future generations.
Expert Advice: Engaging a valuer provides access to their expertise and guidance.
Mortgage Support: Valuation reports improve your mortgage opportunities for lease extensions or freehold purchases.
The cost of renewing a leasehold in the UK can vary depending on various factors, such as the property value, the length of the renewal term, and any negotiations between the leaseholder and the freeholder. Unlike extending a lease, which typically involves paying a premium to the freeholder, renewing a lease generally involves paying a nominal fee known as a “peppercorn rent” or a small percentage of the property value.
The exact cost of renewing a leasehold will depend on the specific terms agreed upon between the parties involved. It is advisable to consult with a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer who specializes in leasehold matters to get an accurate estimate of the costs involved based on your particular situation.
The cost of extending a leasehold in the UK can range from a few thousand pounds to tens of thousands of pounds, depending on factors such as the remaining lease length, property value, and negotiated terms with the freeholder. Additional costs include legal fees, valuation fees, and disbursements such as Land Registry fees. It’s recommended to seek professional advice for an accurate estimate based on your specific situation.
